Fahrenheit 9/11 Shown On Public Access - Support Time Warner
Time Warner has gotten angry responses because Fahrenheit 9/11 was shown on public access. Support Time Warner and send them your own messages. There are several ways to contact the company here.

1. Don't fool yourself. Time/Warner are no friends of the Democrat!
Just because they threw a bone to the Democrats doesn't mean they're on our side! Make no mistake. Time released a SEVERELY skewed poll once showing Bush with an 11pt lead! They'll shill when they have to..don't fool yourself!

3. Time Warner doesn't have any control over what's shown on Public Access
That's the whole point of public access.

4. Exactly... Time Warner refused to allow F911 to play on payforview,
the channel they do control, breaching a contract with Moore.

Public access has nada to do with Time Warner--why would we support TW?

5. I Have Satellite and They Don't Have Public Access
So I don't really know much about it. I'm wondering if there is any way that Time Warner can block out the channel if they get enough complaints. I don't really know how cable and the public access channels work, though.

6. no. What is shown on public access is regulated according to community
standards.

They can't block it, not if the procedure was followed, whatever the local procedure is (in most places something has to be sponsored by community members); you can learn more at the Alliance for Community Media homepage, http://www.alliancecm.org/

Also, if you have Satellite Dish, you should have Free Speech TV which has awesome programming. :)
