FIRST THIS BULLETIN: The “president” has begun using our tax dollars to create several political pages on Whitehouse.gov. First Amendment Doomsday Clock ticking inexorably towards Midnight as the Supremes and the spineless congress continue to hold their seats, which keeps their hands busy.

We return you now to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress.

I did quit Fox News by cutting the cable. For us, now, nothing but Internet. Local TV news costs too much and is worse than the newspaper. CBS from Paramount+, but dropped it because of Colbert. ABC from Hulu; dropped it after Kimmel, came back when he was reinstated. NBC from Peacock. The day they fire Seth Myers is the day I cut off my sub. I refuse to put $3 into Fox News’ pocket every month, whether I watch or not. Carriage fees, as they are known, are the major source of income for that toxic outlet.

If Fox can raise the fee to $3 per subscriber, it would be earning more than $1.8 billion. Hell no, not from me.
