The Dish Network enters its second week of Fox News free satellite TV. Okay now I'm jealous.

Dish Network subscribers who are fans on Fox News’ “fair and balanced” reporting are entering the second week of not being able to watch their favorite Fox hosts, as the war between the network and the cable provider shows no sign of letting up. 

Dish Network pulled the plug on both Fox News and the Fox Business Network on Dec. 20, after the two sides could not agree on a new contract, with Dish claiming Fox was using their popular news shows as leverage to overcharge for other Fox programming the provider was less interested in. 

The resulting blackout led Fox to unleash their loyal viewers on Dish, via Facebook, with threats of cancellation unless Fox News was made available to Dish’s 13 million subscribers again.

In response the CEO of Dish has accused Fox of extortion, which sounds just like something they would do actually.

In the meantime Dish subscribers are getting completely away from conservative conspiracy theories and misinformation as they have replaced Fox News with Glenn Beck's crazy ass network The Blaze.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's any actually better.

Just a very appropriate, and illustrative comic to end our day.

As has been pointed out the 24 blackout has come to an end as it is now past 6:00 AM GMT.

I have to say it was not easy to resist the urge to post every few hours as I have been doing so with only brief interruptions for over eight years now.

Tomorrow, early tomorrow, you will see that IM has returned to normal (Or is that "abnormal?) and we will continue to point out the bullshit, fight for justice, and of course make fun of that crazy lady by the dead lake.
