Ruining Cable

My favorite channels on TV have been the Discovery Networks Science Channel and the History and History International Channels. But they're now running documentaries like "What you need to know about global warming" with Tom Brokaw standing in for Al Gore, and now Ted Koppel is promoting a new special called "The Price of Security," with an anxious voiceover about millions of conversations monitored and secret prisons, as if they really expect us to believe that they're just tapping random phone calls and imprisoning people they grab off the street. You just know he's going to cite the Benjamin Franklin quote about trading freedoms for security. Is there nowhere one can go to be free from these creeps?
