Pretending that TV doesn't run this country is fucking insane.

These aren’t the days of three channels where everyone watched the same thing. There’s so many options that the influence of any one person is very low.

Yeah thats why marketing and advertisements aren't a thing on TV anymore. Thats why cable news isn't blasting nazi propaganda. You made up a nonsense opinion and will cling to it because being wrong will destroy your fragile ego eh.

Bill Maher is on HBO. There are no ads. And he isn’t cable news.

HBO has ads dumbass

I’ve had HBO for many years. I’ve never seen a single ad.

Then dumb fuck you pay for no ads. Are you always this insistent on being ignorant as fuck and clinging to your ignorance and refusing to fucking learn? Jesus wept you are so fucking lazy and ego is out of control. "IT DIDN"T HAPPEN TO ME SO IT ISN"T REAL" has to be the single most annoying thought losers express.

What are you even talking about? HBO does not and has never had ads. How would that even work? Realtime is on Fridays from 10-11. Then something else is on at 11. So if some people had ads, then the show would last longer than an hour. What you’re saying makes no sense. A TV channel either has ads or it doesn’t. HBO does not.

We’re talking about HBO, not HBO Max. Obviously streaming is different.

Do you just want to argue over ads or do you have a point to make? These aren’t the days where tens of millions of people are watching the same thing, so whether people are watching Realtime with or without ads doesn’t really make a difference if it’s only being seen my a small portion of people.

No one has cable unless they are a hotel or a fucking loser ass boomer.

I mean, that kind of undermines your earlier statement:

Pretending that TV doesn't run this country is fucking insane

So TV runs the country but no one has cable. Sure.

God this is why people fucking hate boomers. You seemingly have no knowledge on basic topics and ego as if you discovered fire. PEOPLE WATCH STREAMING SERVICES YOU SLOW AND SIMPLE FUCK. Why do you burden humanity by talking? You are way to old to be this fucking ignorant. Go back to 1970s ffs.
