[Whirlaway]

Something McCain is pushing that I can support..............

The Arizona senator introduces new legislation that would kill the cable bundle and repeal blackout restrictions for local sports teams using publicly funded stadiums.

OMG, I despise that old bastard but if he gets this passed I'll ease up on him a bit.

"Without the bundles, the NCTA argues, content providers would not be able to afford to develop programming that might only appeal to a niche market. And without that programming, everyone suffers because there will be less diversity."

So basically the content providers that suck don't get to play anymore off the backs of those that don't. Sounds like the foundation of America to me, good job!
