Why does DishTV charge extra for MSNBC but

not for FoxNews?

Firstly, I LOVE Dish! for one thing, they are the only option I have where I live. DirecTV came out to my place, looked at the hills and the trees and said "Sorry!" Dish had me cut down a couple of tree limbs and ended up using 2 dishes to alternate satellites, but it works!

But, FauxNews is part of their basic package, and I have to pay extra to get MSNBC. I would also get a few other channels but I don't want any of those. I have FauxNews blocked, but I would really like the choice.

I'm sure this has a lot to do with the contract with they have with MSNBC, so if anyone can find a link that I can complain to both DishTV and MSNBC I would greatly appreciate it!

I just want a choice - or barring that someone I can bitch to.

Anyone have a couple of links to both DishTV and MSNBC that I can use?

Thanks!

1. faux is everywhere. i do not have cable or satellite... i have a roku

and stream everything on there or on my computer. Sure enough faux is available everywhere on that thing. It's propaganda... they want to get it out to as many as they can.

2. We had Comcast until they started charging extra for MSNBC.

That is why we dropped them. We got DirecTV instead and have been satisfied with it.

4. As I said, neither ComCast or DirecTV are an option

I live in the woods.

6. LOL --- sorry!

I was trying to make the point that Comcast also charged extra for MSNBC. (I wasn't hawking DirecTV, even if they do offer $100 for referrals!)

I guess I didn't do that very well.

5. Well, WTF is wrong with MSNBC?

Murdoch must be bleeding money with his multiple fraud suits in other countries, why can't MSNBC take advantage?

Sorry, just frustrated.

7. It's not about the money with right wingers

The washington Tomes (Moonie times) has "made money".. Propaganda costs a lot to produce, and they are willing to pay the price to get their evil message out..at any cost
