Wedgie A La Carte

by digby

I’m with Kevin on this. I’ve never thought that a la carte cable was all that because I know that I’ll probably end up paying the same for fewer channels. It’s just the way these things work. But if Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell are against it, I’m for it. These hucksters prey on lonely dupes in their homes, take their money and then use it to support corporate Republican politics.

Nothing would make me happier than to cancel all the religious programming from my cable line-up. And I would particularly like to tell ABC Family that I am cancelling their channel specifically because it carries the 700 Club.

I suspect that the religious programmers understand something that a lot of people in the media do not. What people say they want and what they will do are different things. Americans like to say they are religious, but many more want their MTV than want the 700 club.
