Your local cable and/or satellite company might not be providing you with the privilege of watching FOX News soon, due to a 400% increase in the amount of money FOX News charges them for each subscriber that receives the channel. FOX plans to raise its carrier rate from 25 cents per subscriber to a full US Dollar. CNN, by the way, charges 60 cents per subscriber.
Someone on a list that I subscribe to noted that “FOX News has much better ratings that CNN, so that makes sense.” He obviously didn’t do his homework, as FOX is not only guilty of manipulating the news, but it is equally adept at manipulating viewership ratings to make itself look more important and influential than it really is. I guess we’ll find out soon enough if the cable companies know when they’re being bamboozled.
Wow, what a conservative station! I never thought that a Fox would attept to try to go higher than CNN. If CNN’s cost were higher, I’m sure they would claim, “Watch us, because you get the truth and you save money.” I’m tired of FOX. Everything they say is basically falling from the asses of Conservatives.
