| 1. IT could be your local Cable affiliate. Some portions of programming |
|
are dedicated to local affiliates and they play what they want.

except it was advertising for CNN. I asked someone I know who works for TimeWarner what the deal was- she just laughed and said it was probably a mistake, but so much programming has been outsourced to regional offices who don't have a clue what is going on in any given market.

| 7. Our local cable co Comcast |
|
allows local businesses to sponsor ads for FAUX news. Everytime I see one, I call the local business and ask them who the hell they think they are telling me what station to watch and then saying that I will never patronize their business and I will tell all my friends and neighbors not to. The ads usually disappear in a few days.
