You may ask why this is political, but it is a fine example of those brilliant "job creators" at work, and how stupid they are. It also links to politics as these are the same geniuses that run MSNBC.

Step One: take G4, and admittedly troubled network, but one that is catering to younger techies, and has a lot of very nasty political satire on it's main two shows, attack of the show and X play. It had programming defending drug legalization, among other more liberal topics. Force both shows to cancel, and put nothing but cheap reruns.

Step Two; replace it with the "esquire network" which is a "men's network." Wait, isn;t there a tons of supposedly Men;s programming, sure, but this will be for upscale types, focusing on cooking, travel and fashion. Wait a minute, isnt there food network and style?

Step Three: instead of using G4 for Esquire, kill a women's network, Style.

Of course, you gutted all of G4's original programs, and most of the people you fired have found work elsewhere where they make more money than you ever paid them. Oh, and you just killed a woman's network for this "men's network" that somehow believes that Men will watch your fashion and cooking shows when they are already served well elsewhere. You isolate the young gamers who support an industry making billions, and make sure that instead of watching TV, they go to the internet.

Step four: Do not even try to get back some of your old talent, or bring back the TV shows you cancelled.

See how this illustrates the wisdom of those "job creators?"
