There are three reasons we keep cable:
1) American Pickers (I know Netflix has it, but we've seen all of those and it's our relax-without-thinking show that we look forward to sitting down together each week once the kids are asleep)
2) Walking Dead (Ditto Netflix, although I don't know how current they are. That said, I'm increasingly becoming decreasingly interested in the show)
3) It costs $10 more to get Internet access without also getting cable.

Oh bullshit. So long as you don't preface the word with "yellow" there is plenty of ethics in journalism. The issue is that there's very little in the news business - or more accurately, "the business of news." In the vast majority of cases, reporters receive their assignments from editors who receive "guidance" from their editors who, in turn, receive their marching orders from company/corporate owners (who in turn receive them from stockholders). Now I think it can be argued that there's a difference between "journalists" and "reporters" but that argument goes both ways: In effect all journalists should be "reporters" in that they report whatever has/is occurred/occurring. On the flip side both journalists and reporters want one thing: The big story, either for lofty ideals or to get promoted to a higher-ranking position.
