New Yorkers Cry To Washington Over Losing Signal

ABC vs. Cablevision

 

In the wake of Disney's decision to follow through on pulling WABC-TV from Cablevision systems, the e-mails were flying in Washington, with calls for government to step in if necessary to bring the parties together.

John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairnman of the Sen. Communications Subcommittee, renewed his call for Washington to step in, as well as telling the two sides to work something out, rather than make "collateral damage" of viewers. But he did not put the blame on ABC, as he seemed to do in a letter to FCC chairman Julius Genachowski last week urging a resolution of the impasse.

In that letter he had said he didn't think ABC should be able to pull the signal without some FCC finding that Cablevision had bargained in bad faith.

But in Sunday's statement, he pointed no fingers. He said that ABC had pulled the signal because it could not agree with Cablevision on the value, and added that it is "neither my place nor my goal to pick sides in this dispute."

Was it the mullah in Helmand or the dictator in Tehran looking to increase his hoard of twitter followers. If you come across adsense ads like this do you click them, just to see where thay take you and your computer?

Let me know if you have seen these in your travels along the interwebs as well.

State Of The Union Barbs To Listen For

Obama is performing dismally as the POTUS. The siren call of this administrations horrid performances in the polls has made him wear the "most-corrupted" presidential administration in American history. While you sit with your family tomorrow night, stay tuned for some of the things listed below. check them off as he spouts along about the "I's and "We's". The life insurance policy for this administration and the horrible democrats in the Senate and Congress can only be if he tries to come on over to the "Right" side.

Well we don't want him.

Here are some keys to look out for:

As you know, President Obama has proposed a spending freeze, but, did you also know that Senate Democrats are eyeing an $80 billion jobs package that will increase spending? Doesn’t that seem at odds with each other?

Also note, President Obama recently signed an omnibus bill that increased spending by 12%, in addition to the $787 billion stimulus bill that increased non-defense spending by 57%. The spending freeze proposal seems an odd choice for a President with record first year spending numbers.
