Oct 21, 2010

“Showing no remorse to viewers, News Corp. continues to keep 3 million households in the dark, tonight blacking out what could be the deciding game of the National League playoffs.  FOX’s hit list now includes: 5 MLB playoff games, 2 NFL games, Glee, House, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Hell’s Kitchen and more.  FOX wants more money, but consumers are paying the price.  When will the FCC and Congress step in to protect consumers by updating retransmission consent laws?”
