Bias is one thing. Flat out wrong is another. I will always correct misinformation.
At least have the information correct. DISH is invoking the FCC law/rule, not vague in anyway. This isn't the same as a dispute with a company that does not also have a Cable company, as an example Viacom is a different kind of dispute. Further wrong that the channels stay still "claim" is investigated. They stay period and an arbitrator will arbitrate the contract.
Why are you bringing MSNBC into this? Also Rachel Maddow > other talking heads.

It was unprovoked political though. Like didn't have to mention MSNBC at all but went for a cheap shot...Well it is turning political again.............

There was nothing political about MSNBC. It was a statement that they are wrong on a frequent basis, and purposefully put out wrong info... Just like Comcast. Never said anything political. Comcast owns MSNBC, and they both are doing the same thing... No cheap shot, is an observation.
To Sam, yes, I have corrected people that agree with me, and continue on with incorrect statements. Bias blinders do not help any conversation, even if they agree with me. Actually, when people agree with me but refuse to see the other side, it hurts my argument, not helps.

Did you even read the pdf earlier in this thread? Comcast violated the terms of their agreement. What do want Dish to do, just pay whatever ridiculous increase that Comcast is asking for? Let prices continue to escalate?
I am so glad that Dish stands up to Comcast! I hope that Comcast has to pay for violating the terms of their agreement! Comcast are sleazeballs in my opinion.

None of know how much of a increase Comcast is asking for or how much Dish is offering, it might not be that ridiculous, as far as we know Dish wanted to cut the rate or maybe Comcast want a extra .02 cents a channel.
Also Dish might regret asking for arbitration if they rule in Comcast favor and the increase is big.
Probably not, as whatever decision is made for Dish will affect every other provider as their contracts come for renewal. I can almost guarantee one condition in the NBC contract will be a rate match when others come for renewal.
That is the same as taking it away for me.
I agree with you. But there are plenty of bias examples on this board (I'm assuming others also). I rarely see people called out when they are part of the majority.
I know you weren't, but I was defending the other person's actions by saying I would do the same thing and gave my reasons.
Also, if the majority is wrong using baseless information or bias, then I will call it out too.
I'll be sure to look for you both to post at the next threat of blackout when folks call the station owners "greedy" then.
That is baseless (We have no idea what is being asked, what the arrangements were in the past, what other providers are paying, what Dish is asking for, whether each side is negotiating in good faith, etc.) and biased (Dish must be in the right, the station owners must be wrong).
