[F]ollowing the announcement of the buyout, Time Warner Cable announced that it will abruptly be dropping Current TV, which would deny millions of customers the access to this new channel that promises to give “voice to the voiceless.”
This move will prevent many Americans from being exposed to the progressive views of Current TV anchors and the award-winning coverage of global affairs that Al Jazeera has pioneered.
But while Time Warner doesn’t think its customers need access to this important knowledge, it does continue to offer dozens of channels dealing with…
— Porn: If you’re a Time Warner customer, you’ll have access to the television channels run by Hustler, Playboy and Penthouse (and the high definition versions). Who needs the Arab Spring when you have Hugh Hefner?
— High-end Shopping: The “Gem Shopping Network” will continue to be offered, and for those who don’t like that, there’s Shop Zeal 1-5.
— Movie Trailers: Time Warner doesn’t want to give space to Al Jazeera English U.S., but it will offer “Movie Trailers On Demand.” Yes, an entire channel dedicated to airing movie trailers.

Time Warner Drops Current After Al Jazeera Buyout, Continues to Offer Porn, Jewelry Shopping (via smdxn)
I was surprised that Dish Network has carried both Current TV and Al Jazeera since I’ve been a subscriber.

I’m sure that this decision will be reversed if Al Jazeera offers up a bunch of cash. What should happen is that customers inundate Time Warner with requests to carry Current and/or switch cable companies to one that does.
