Lifetime TV: Worth fighting for?

I've seen my fair share of bad programming on Lifetime Television for Women (including all the hits with with Tori Spelling) and would have never in my right mind thought to fight for the network that consistently produced some of the worst tv throughout the 1990s. Yet, there are hundreds of women across the nation protesting the Dish network over its decision to charge for access to Lifetime. After EchoStar unplugged Lifetime, the network, which is based in New York, took out full-page newspaper advertisements saying, "Dish doesn't value women," and encouraging Dish subscribers to switch to DirectTV, a rival satellite television company. Some women have held rallies to decry the loss of their favorite shows and to sling barbs at Mr. Ergen, who has a record of public scuffles with television programmers. While Lifetime has brought to light some very critical issues regarding women, I don't know if my girlfriends are quite ready to forgive them for that total crap miniseries on trafficking. (Mira Sorvino, we thought you were better than that.)
