Conspiracy theorists-- I need your help.

I'm watching Dogma on Comedy Central, and every 20-30 minutes an alert goes across the screen that starts "Attention: dish network threatens to ban..." and then a black bar comes up and blocks out the rest of the message. Is it a legitimate alert and it's being blocked out because I don't really have their service (I have cable through the campus system)? Or is dish network doing something uncool (like... not allowing moveon.org ads) and they don't want the alerts to be seen by their customers??

Update: I got more of a sample this time: "attention something/Dish network subscribers: dish network has threatened to take away the following channels:..." and then it's cut off. This makes it more likely that it's just being blocked because it doesn't affect me, but... the wording is weird. Are they taking away Al Jazeera (sp?) or something? that's the only controversial channel I can think of.

Update2: They were a little slow with the black bar on MTV-- they're taking away BET and Nickelodeon. Awwww naw, no one denies me my morning SpongeBob!!
