You really are some kind of political hack that is apparently mentally disabled as well. No. Jails have only certain channels that they will let out over the CCTV system, and those are usually broadcast channels (mainly because they don't require a subscription, they ain't gonna pay for cable for inmates). If you aren't in jail, you have access to any information you want, via television, cable (if you have it), the internet or your cell phone. Even if you don't have any of those things, you can still ask anyone you want about whatever is going on in the country. People in jail don't have that luxury.
