Ugh, I happened to watch a bit of Channel 4 this evening
and I was reminded why I've virtually eliminated network TV from my life. What nauseating political ads.

1. We now have no TV service (by choice).
We view what we choose on the internet & DVD.
I remember a time when there were news programs and there were tabloid shows. Now it's all tabloid.

2. Got rid of our TV at least 4 months ago
Might get a new one after the November election but mostly for PBS.

4. I have basic-basic cable so that PBS comes in clearly, and
somehow they left Turner Classic Movies untouched :evilgrin:

My Netflix subscription keeps me very happy, too, especially since they carry almost all American and many British TV series.

5. They are absolutely barf-inducing.
One more reason to avoid network TV. I don't watch much as it is, and these ads are enough to make me turn it off altogether.

:puke:
