3. I get great reception with rabbit ears

That cost about $20 from RadioShack. No way would I get cable or dish as long as Fox is included. Not one penny for Rupert Murdoch will I spend.

7. Maybe not, but when they call/write for my re-subscription I will delight in telling each

employee why I will not be subscribing. Being that MSNBC is my ONLY reason for cable in the first place. They know it, because when they moved it off the low-tier lineup a couple of years ago I and many others pitched a fit and they brought it back. (Fox never left the low-tier lineup, for what it is worth).

20 years ago there were a dozen different independents here in town. Don't you just love how "competition" really works?
