I’m currently moving. Called yesterday to get internet setup at the new place. Lady on the phone says “we can bundle your cable with your internet for a great deal.”

I say “no thanks, I just want internet.”

She says, “Well if you change your mind later…”

I say “Yeah ummm no that’s never gonna happen. Everything on television is crap.”

She laughs and says, “You know, that’s the 5th time I’ve heard that today.”

And it was only 11AM.

Then she says “Well I like the news.”

I reply, “Well hell, THAT’S THE WORST PART OF TV, the news.”

She laughs and says, “Well I mean I like the weather.”

I said “Yeah well I can check the weather on my phone.”

Anyhow, it was nice to hear that I was the fifth person to say that cable sucks. Perhaps people are waking up.

Yep, I unplugged during the 2008 election year. To see the game they were running on Ron Paul, despite him having raised more money in a primary that any other politician had ever in the history of the United States to that point. The MSM made him out to be "unsupported".

The way Fox news had 3k tickets for the debates, and ONLY handed them out to McCain and Giuliani, DESPITE over 5K Ron Paul supporters showing up for the event - -the Ron Paul organization literally had to rent a stadium for the Ron Paul supporters down the road because they wouldn't let any of them into the debate floor. This is why people boo'ed Ron Paul at the debates. This is one of the reasons why normies never heard his message. TV is all a fucking psyop, trying to shape your thinking with suggestions such as that audience's reactions during that debate.

You would think being aware about these techniques makes you immune to the effects, but you'd be wrong. You simply can't watch it at all.

1992. Ross Perot. The media did a number on him. Even worse than what they did to Ron Paul. And to this day I'm not sure if they screwed him over or was he a willing participant.

Umm was this the Debate at Gammage Auditorium at ASU. Where Ron Paul went to a church down the street to talk to supporters?

Because I was there. At ASU and at the church.

Found out later a photographer took a photo of my wife and I at the event. Was on the FB page at the time.

Wife and I have been internet only for 7 or 8 years now. It takes years to deprogram from the TV MSM propaganda.

Have had similar conversations with internet providers. Haven't had cable in decades. Post 9/11 I saw the propaganda for what it was. Over the years, I'd be in a waiting room somewhere, I saw the commercials change to propaganda. Niggers this, kikes that. They really hate it when you point out the propaganda. Especially the nigger and foreign diversity hires. Tell them straight out, "no, I don't like watching TV or movies strictly because of the propaganda." Have antenna hooked up for the case of a national or local emergency. Something like the train derailment in Ohio happens, I want to be able to turn it on while I grab things to leave. That's it.

2004 “unplugged”

2006 for me.

Before that, I was in an apartment that had a basic cable connection left on from a previous tenant. I usually had a sci‐fi channel playing older shows and movies in the background.

After I left that place I never once considered paying for cable television and I didn’t even bother watching the few local channels you can get for free.

Soon they’ll have to start making an “internet only” bundle as their money saver.

Cable is obsolete now anyway, you can just about stream or download anything for free if you know where to look.

If you need other people to confirm your choices and conclusions you are going to have a very bad time.

Make up your mind and stick to it, ignore the NPCs.

I've been on the antenna for a few years now. Local news and old reruns. Utility company is running the infrastructure for internet. Should be soon. At 51 years old I have never lived in an area that had cable or anything. Not sure if want to hook to it or not.
