2. If by "boycott" you mean, too cheap for a cable package that carries MSNBC then yes
Carry on with your boycott

3. Nope... I will forever boycott Comcast Cable & emailed, phoned,
and snail mailed them as to why. I will continue to listen to various programs on XM radio and/or to stream online when I have the chance.

7. Watch it on line ..
Here:
http://www.lasvegasmixx.com/tv-news.html

Once in a while. Can't seem to find the aljazeera live stream, at the moment. My old link went dead. CNN is at the above link too. Not sure what I want to use for my news anymore, other then
DU and some of the DU links.

9. Yep! Maybe rachel once in a while.
I have to admit, since turning off MSNBC and all cable news shows, my blood pressure has lowered considerably. Anyway, I get all my news here at DU. So I figure I'm not missing much.

11. I'm taking a break and am enjoying how life is nice without dramatic music accompanying facts
Reading books and DU, going to the rec center and just being has been more pleasant without the background drama of dueling rants. I'm exploring quiet.

My 2¢.

12. Well, sort of. I usually keep in on all day and I've had the TV off today.
I do, however, have "Hardball" on now. Hubby likes to watch when he gets home.

13. Never watched it so boycotting means nothing.
Most of the time a boycott is about making the boycotter feel good about their decision anyways.

14. I refuse to participate in a boycott until an equivalent girlcott is established.
I never had the urge to watch MSNBCABCXYZUSA in the first place, so I guess my not watching now does not count for anything.

15. Cable news is stupid.
I don't need to be fed opinions all day -- I have plenty of my own.
