			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not aware of anyone who loves their cable company, and yet we put up with a lot of the <span style="text-decoration: line-through">baloney</span> service deficits in order to get our favorite TV shows.  They&#8217;re definitely not corporations organized to make the user experience better, but now TimeWarner has taken the lead in abusing their customers.</p>
