...all the ignorant jackasses bitching about them would just cease subscribing, watching and clicking!!!! The whining morons can't seem to grasp that the media is about THEIR dollars, not ideologies.

1. Does that mean that you don't have cable TV or internet access?
Even basic cable provides funding to the media conglomerates. Most internet providers are owned by them, as well.

2. are you being obtuse for a reason?
As a matter of fact I do NOT have cable, secondly only a dolt would include internet in that qustion which obviously was in response to a question placed ON the internet.

Now to your supercilious and poorly thought out question/statement. The profit revenues that sustain the media are generated by the ADVERZTIZING! Just as subscription rates only cover material and distribution costs. Don't subscribe to the written version, don't click on the online version and you have literally cut the money jugular. All of which is quite obvious to most orangatang level humanoids...sadly too many fall into the newborn armadillo class.

3. All sources of revenue affect the bottom line...
including subscriber fees. Time Warner, for example, gets nearly 40% of their revenue from subscriber fees.

The intent of my internet question should have been obvious. Obviously, you have internet access. If you're paying internet provider fees, you're contributing to the bottom line.

As for your personal attacks, perhaps you can go fuck yourself.
