Cashflow ain't profit: it's what you use to service the debt.
Simply: prove it.
Prove that a cable company has ever reported a profit from operations. Oh,
and since you use the "regulators" weasel, I'll go fot what they report to
shareholders. www.edgar.sec.gov. Go ahead and give it a try.
I DARE YOU. I do that knowing that you cannot find a profitable (from
operations) public cable company. EVER. Of course, since you confuse cash
flow with profits, you are probably not the best candidate ...

This is another absurd reaction. Virtually all are obscenely
profitable. Do not be deceived by the ways in which they hide this
income from the regulators. With more than $52 billion in annual
cashflow, somebody is making a few bucks...
