DISH Network slated to not renew FX channel

In an unrelated story, but not really, there are three key baseball games being played this afternoon, all with playoff implications. There's Padres-Giants, Phillies-Braves, and Yankees-Red Sox. All start at 4:10 ET, all are on Fox, and you will watch whichever game Fox says you will watch, regardless of what game you'd prefer to see. Even if you ponied up the cash for a baseball subscription package with your provider, you cannot watch anything save what the decision-makers of Fox Sports says you're supposed to. And why? It's because of Fox's dictatorial blackout rule. They are the only ones who can broadcast baseball in that time window, and they are the ones who choose which of those games will be shown in your area. And why why? Simple. Fox is a greedy fascist network owned and run by greedy fascists.

OK, that last part is just my opinion (as well as that of Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin

), but the rest it indisputable fact.
