"If CBS, NBC or ABC were doing this I would also have a beef with them... But they are not...

If you want to hate, fine... Don't do it on my airwaves, thank you... Privatize it!!!"

I don't know where you're posting from but the First Amendment also guarantees the right of people to express their opinions in "your" public square (freedom of speech, freedom of assembly).

So you're just plain wrong on this - there is nothing in our Constitution that places a "content" test on free speech. Hate speech, and stupid speech are still PROTECTED speech under "our" Constitution.

I don't watch TV, myself, and one of the reasons is that I don't agree with the content of CBS, NBC or ABC (and CNN and Fox) - - namely that we can achieve happiness by just buying lots and lots of STUFF, and getting up to our ears in debt ("Matercard:priceless!) to do it. I think the big corporate message is far more damaging to our society, culture, and environment than anything Fox promotes.
