Barack Obama channel thread in DN Forum - moved?

[yaz96]

It said it was moved. To where????

I click on it and it says I'm not authorized. I looked in the Election Pit. It's not there, or merged with the other appropriate thread.

Where did it go?

The thread is under review right now, as soon as I know something we will post it here. As the staff is discussing where the appropreate area for the thread is. Thanks for your understanding.

Just an FYI, the thread was listed on many blogs, Sat Guys actually was credited with breaking the information on Hillary Clinton's website. Looks bad for the site that it is not now viewable, JMO.

I have just moved the thread to our Presidential Election Pit forum, which unfortunately is only for site supporters. I did not do this to draw new supporters but did it so people could discuss this disturbing move by Dish Network.

I only consider it disturbing because I believe Dish should also offer a channel to the opposing party as well.

I pay my satellite company to bring me the programming I like, I don't pay them to have them force feed me their political views.

Yes the election is a hot topic now, but political discussion and opinions are not permitted in the general forums. The only place we are allowing such discussions are in our special Election Pit forum for supporters.

The way I feel is in politics no ones OPINION is wrong and everyone is titled to their opinion. You are also allowed to have your own opinion on if you agree with someone else opinion or not.

Be well and thanks for being SatelliteGuys!

Thanks Scott, I agree with you 100 Percent!
