>> I think you are lying about your cable subscription having CNN and not Fox News. The famed CombJelly redirection has kicked in and you no longer want to discuss interesting topics like how high human population growth rates are a good thing. Now, the redirection algorithm wants to discuss whether my tv services provider has Fox News included in the base package. The combjelly redirection usually kicks in when you can no longer backup the bogus statements you made earlier in the discussion.

You should know that Fox News is very expensive for cable to carry. In fact, Fox is the most expensive cable network besides ESPN. CNN, last I heard, cheap by comparison by comparison so they could at least generate ad revenue. With the content shift now underway it would not be unusual for a provider to to drop low demand networks. Ours dropped AMC at the height of its popularity to save money, even though we have a hundred or more channels. It was too expensive, as costly as Fox almost. These are facts that at the very least make the word lie inappropriate here. Perhaps you owe Mel an apology? No, that would be an admission you were wrong. Not happening.
