"raising questions about its use and Facebook's ability to influence elections"

And how is Facebook influencing elections by reminding users to vote? Are they also telling them who to vote FOR?

The campaign money Zuckerberg and fellow evil 1%ers does more to influence election results....

I usually never just "sit and watch TV", TV tends to be more of a "background noise", or if it's something I'm more actively watching, if there are commercials and it's not DVR'd to allow FF past them, I tune out and surf the web, or hit the can, or grab a drink or something until the commercials are over. I recognize them, but mainly as "white noise" that are otherwise ignored.

Yeah, it's the nickle and diming people to death that pisses people off.

In the Metro Detroit area (for COmcast at least), even if you are paying for the big package with all the channels, if you want to receive those channels on every TV, you need the even more expensive per month box for each, or you only get the most basic channels for a lower monthly box fee.

And if you want to watch your DVR stuff in another room, that's another $8+ a month for each TV you want the capability on....

Joining that club when the current contract runs out. Get fast internet and drop the Phone and Cable TV. Way too expensive for the 8-12 channels we actually watch vs. all the channels we don't watch or want. Between Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, + with HBO going to a streaming option next year where you don't need a cable HBO subscription, no reason to stay with cable TV....

They priced themselves out of lots of customers.
Maybe of more cable channels had NO commercials they could justify the rates, but that's a thing of the past...
