Defending Cable

Tim Carmody defends cable from the online subscription onslaught: "[I]n the last decade, we’ve been steadily rediscovering the virtues and working to recreate a model that’s existed for a long time, which is vastly more popular than anything comparable that began on the web, and which we kvetch about endlessly. Most of us want cable TV or something very much like it. We just refuse to admit it."
