Yeah, but I sure do see a lot of people thinking that cable was
supposed to be commercial-free.  If this just an instance of people
only wanting to hear what they wanted to hear?  Or people just
thinking that if they paid for something, then it had to have no
advertising (despite the fact that the majority of magazines and
newspapers carry ads)?

I guess it's the same sort of thinking that has people complaining
about a Sirius XM DJ plugging something on another channel (or PBS
borrowing snipes from commercial television to promote "Prohibition"
or the Friday night arts specials, its first major programming change
on Friday night in decades).  It doesn't matter what it is, if it
isn't music or information or attempts at entertainment, it's
advertising.
