All the cable providers play the same game. Lots of $$$ for crap programming. The programming isn't the providers fault though, they can only offer what is available. The television and movie industry cranks out cheap crap by the metric tonne and you pay for that via your cable bill.
I' sure many of us here are pretty wise to the psychological game that has arisen from the so-called benefits of "technology" which seems more inherent of discovery of algorithms of human behavior to use the easy manipulated and impulse driven of people and drain them like batteries for their energies.. hence why I do hold the arguments I do where I believe 'life' should be about adventures and experiences. But we all get convinced or indoctrinated to believe that working for someone else is somehow a benefit of feeding what' really compulsory and that' being a slave to our own debts.. add some laziness, lack of creativity, and a smidgen of don' care - it' not my problem and voila.... The not so American dream manifests itself with almost but not quite instant gratification results.
As for your Tell-a-vision.. not too much diversity comes at the hands of only a handful of opinions and beliefs, especially when it' an dl a trickle down effect. Media and food wise..
The illusions of choices are yours... just when you think you're voting with your dollars one way, they get you on another. But no one wants to hear or talk about that, so until some dramatic injustice occurs it's swept out from view or thought; to controversial or convuluted for conversation so shut up and turn up the TV so I can hear it... ;)
