The result is, it's much more convenient for the viewers to believe
it's the fault of the cable companies who then get all the blame.
Most of these comments mention that cable subscribers are outraged
and plan to switch providers.
The viewers want to express their frustration and outrage and the
cable companies are the ones on the receiving end of the very bad
publicity, especially when the viewers learn the shows they missed
on cable will be rebroadcast for *free* on over the air "Antenna TV".
Welcome to the world of government regulated monopolies. Cable is not
far behind the Telcos in terms of customer loathing and hatred.
As for broadcasters, the problem is less hate or loathing, more disinterest.
BUT
We dropped out newspaper subscription because of dissatisfaction with
the product - especially their editorial slant.
We stopped watching most broadcast TV shows because they became less
entertaining and vehicles for social gerrymandering, and we stopped
watching broadcast TV news because it has become a propaganda machine
for the politicians.
