wait, tell me again which one of these guys is an economics professor? How are they able to judge the impact of this merger as it pertains to the *economic* welfare of the customer. I didn't read anywhere in the anti-trust laws that stated that a merger couldn't take place because it would eliminate christian programming. Church/State anyone? I like how clearcut it is for these guys: Everyone should be entitled to religious programming and nobody should be allowed to listen to Ron Jeremy.

As a paid subscriber, I choose to pay for "pornography". Tell HBO they can't have nudity either. Douchebag.
