ld- Dean is apparently saying some very damaging things about Kerry these days, but it's very hard to find. i got so disgusted with tv media as a news source 15 years ago that i tuned it out. i started producing my own tv messages on public access cable. i moved into government access cable tv (video surveillance of local elected officials conducting meetings and making policy decisions). i helped set up local government policy that prohibits their editorial control of content and their access to use the channel during a 90 day period before elections if they are candidates for re-election... then the internet was born. it's open to all and it's a two way communication channel... now i only watch tv news for production values. i use the internet for gathering information and assessing various opinions. what dean says about kerry is easy to find - one or two clicks away. same goes for what kerry says about dean. comcast is great. i'm a subscriber too. but when it comes to information and education, the broadband internet connection i get from them is 10,000 times more valuable than their selection of tv programs. and for laura's benefit... the cable bill is $94.46 per month (includes taxes and franchise fees)... 50% of this is for basic TV channels and the other 50% is for broadband, unlimited, always-on, internet access. so why do i still watch TV? it's the sports, dude. it's for the live sports coverage. -ep
