Bullshit or not, I know that TV shows will have to look to use commercials to pay for captioning. It's not that hard to do!

They are justifying the reduction of our closed captioned needs in media as cost - cutting purposes that the Administration have made grants to NCIC and now decided to act on reducing the grants that we DEAFIES needed it so BAD!

sometime, the company do wish to place CC as they show the support. I happen to know about first place on NBC when there is several high staffs have friends who happen to be hearing impaired or relative to family. They show great support to have CC on the network, no matter. Practice seen all great tv show(s) come with CC available.

c'mon guys...if they are trying to remove capitons, then they should've done it sooner! Otherwise, if that REALLY happens, I put my heart and faith for in the world of deafness to fight for our rights in the world of information age.

I know two families who don't allow kids to watch tv or internet. 
Guess what? These kids turn into great healthful life with fine marriage and jobs. Weird. I get feel that they are from "Blast from the Past", the movie.
