1. A couple weeks ago I was in the emergency room and all the TVs on the floor were

on Fox new, When I looked through the channels I couldn't find MSNBC.
This is not the first time Fox was available and MSNBC wasn't. The Dems have to figure out a way into everyday people's lives.

[Hekate]

3. I hope that when you feel better that you will phone and/or write to the Administrative office with a complaint

They can and should do better.

A couple of times I’ve politely asked a waiting-room receptionist if her employer requires her to keep FOX on, and if she says it’s not a job requirement I ask if she can change the channel to something else. Even soap operas or kids’ cartoons would be better.

[yourout]

4. And both would have more factual content.

[dchill]

7. And neither would be deliberately misleading.

[radical noodle]

12. I've recently seen more HGTV or the Food channel

on TVs in doctor's offices here. Neutral stuff.

[Think. Again.]

2. I have done that a few times over the past few years.

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. There are practical reasons

Not just a boycott of Trumpers because they make you angry. It's a red flag that they should not be trusted.

If someone admires a con-man, they are more likely to do the same in their dealings.

[TheRickles]

6. Seems important to also tell the business owner why you're leaving.

[Tribetime]

8. I was at home depot customer service on friday

They had a little.
Table at the entrance with the bible with an american flag in the middle of it. I wanted to ask someone why was there an American flag in a holy bible

9. TY & Scott Dworkin! I saw him and

Allison Gill/Mueller She Wrote on his Podcast the other day.. Impressive Dems!:den:

[xuplate]

10. Me too

[AZ8theist]

11. Years ago I went for an oil change in Mesa, AZ...

One of those quick change shops, I forget the company.

In the waiting room was a small color TV. Fox News was on.

I got up to change the station, only to discover that Fox was the ONLY station on the TV.

Since I couldn't change the channel, I turned the tv OFF.

I never went back to that business.

[Skittles]

13. huh?

I have been doing that since Faux News arrived on the scene

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. Me too.

Twenty years ago, I used to keep my tv remote in my gym bag so I could change the channel since they had the same brand of tv I did.

Now I have a USB infrared dongle that turns my phone into a universal remote. I don't put up with that shit on tv if it's a place I really want or need to go.

[Skittles]

19. I can literally remember the first time I checked out that station

right away I was like false, false, WTF, taken out of context, FUCKING LIES - it's not just propaganda it is OBVIOUS PROPAGANDA

[Hope22]

20. This....the reason why people won't watch TV with me. 😁

Even ‘normal’ TV programming and commercials can bring on some of this! 🤣😁😂

14. What happens if you walk in an airport and all the waiting rooms are playing Fox? nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. Get a refund and a bus ticket.

[pnwmom]

23. Get real. nt

[Hope22]

21. Ask them to change the channel.

At least it registers a complaint. Every once in a while it gets results.

[pnwmom]

22. I'm talking about a huge airport. The people staffing the waiting areas aren't making the choice.

According to this, airports have signed contracts with networks. For some reason Sea Tac airport, in a county where 74% voted for Kamala, plays Fox News in its waiting areas.

By comparison, the cable news channels airing in airport terminals are often predetermined: Airports sign contracts with the parent companies of the news channels, which pay them to broadcast their content.

17. Yup.

18. Get one of these.

Works great. I can nearly always change the channel to something else, and if their system doesn't use the TV channels (cable box etc) I can at least turn it off.


A lot of people have suggested TV-B-Gone

I got one and it didn't seem to work as well.

Either way, shut the shit off or leave.

24. I've been known to change a waiting room TV channel AWAY from Pox Noise.

I declared my intentions and determined that nobody else objected so I tuned it to CNN or MSNBC instead. CNN mostly. Always seemed like a more or less “establishment” choice.

[tinymontgomery]

25. A few years ago I went to get my allergy shot

and the office had fox on. I asked them to change the channel to anything but news channels including CNN, MSNBC etc just so
no one else would get upset not having fox. They put on a music channel and the tv has stayed on that channel ever since.

26. Hospitals...

Once I drove to Phoenix to visit one of my sisters at a hospital and Fox News was playing in the waiting room. It was during the Anthony Weiner "scandal." I had to wait four or five hours to see her. It was excruciating.

Needless to say, I think it shows really terrible judgment to show Fox News in a hospital waiting room. That was some time ago, however; hopefully their policy has changed.
