A better example might be that DISH TV
finds out that I Democratic and then suddenly I am bombarded not with
Dem ads, but with Republican ads hoping to change my mind. Or maybe
they tailor my advertising or even determine what shows I can >access.

Isn't that business? They broadcast what sells. They show the ads (Dem or Repub) that they are paid to show. Can DISH TV customize what an individual household sees? I have basic cable, and I get whatever 12 stations the cable company sends out...I get a station from Chicago, they are in a different time zone, and it messes with my head when the 10:00 news comes on at 11:00. It's interesting to listen to Chicago news, though. That's a scary place...incredible amount of violence.
