Think about how many movies with a certain actor you have seen

Lack of money from a cable company doesen't justify why certain movie channels or news and movie channels don't want to give you a 70' Gene Hackman movie for example.

Money from advertising lacks or i'm missing something ? 

Never saw self-sufficiency in media, in times of war

How about self-sufficiency, DIY and reusing on tv ? Seems to me that some people in time of war, will raise prices because media in time of war talks about prices, oil price is going up and no hope.
