Read it again - it's a meta-spin. His point is that if it were a former Fox exec....
Also, to your point, we don't know it didn't have anything to do with them being gay. I actually tried an experiment - I texted the story to two of my liberal friends, one got "CNN..." the other was "Fox...." - as neither could read the story (texted headline) I got interesting and expected reactions. The guy who got it as "Fox" read the story some hours later and vowed revenge (:-0). Anyway, amusing story, crazy neighbors. My guess is that it's the typical dog walking poop-wars problem. -XC

I don't watch any of 'em - we gave up cable a year or so ago. We have a roku box (hulu + netflix) and a craiglist TIVO player and an HD antenna in the attic. I figure we break even for the year part way through January and the saved money pays for an extra week at the beach.
Plus we watch a lot less crap. -XC

I hear that, I just convinced my gf to give up Directv when our contract expires. I consider that a major victory. Netflix has been pretty decent so far, but honestly, I could be perfectly content with just streaming free documentaries and such that I find online. There is so much out there: http://documentaryheaven.com/
