i guess i think it matters if my mom tunes into CNN and I tune into CNN and 
she gets completely different news stories based on what we can afford to 
buy, not to mention based on our race. imagine that only low income blacks 
ever get programming that, supposedly, low income blacks like, no matter 
whether they tune into the Box, CNN, FOX, TMC, or the Food Network, 
etc.  I'm white and I'll never be exposed to anything from black culture 
because they'll assume that I won't be interested in that.

i don't get a choice because it's based on what i can afford to buy--as 
well as things like race, age, gender.
