It seems that a troll here thinks we commies want to "socialize" the cable companies, while every fine American knows that the proper way to do business is to hand out unaccountable monopolies to bloated and corrupt campaign contributors like Comcast. That's the free market at work.
From the same addled brain comes the notion that Air America no longer airs in New York, which is false, of course, but has more to do with other bloated monopolies squeezing it out than anything else. Its affiliate in my home town beats all the right wing blatherers in every time slot. Of course, it's owner, Clear Channel, calls its propaganda arms "News Talk," and lets the "progressive" station subsidize them. More free market at work.
I think the right's greatest "success" is how it has convinced its followers to believe such nonsense so confidently that they spout it, mindlessly, at every opportunity, as we see in this case.
