In reply to the discussion: This guy is a genius.... how to deal with your brainwashed Fox News watching parents........ [View all]Tipperary
(6,930 posts)25. Yeah, this is bizarro world, where we suddenly support censorship?
I would never watch that channel, however it does play on some of the TVs at my gym.
There are many, many tvs there. It is not my business what others watch. Usually, I see ESPN, CNN, NBC, HGTV, ABC, and Fox all playing on the dozens of tvs available.
I am free to watch whichever I want. Somehow others should be denied that? I would be furious if someone denied me that right. I ignore Fox if it happens to be on in front of my machine. Lots of other tvs I can watch, and anyway I have my music.
I get very uncomfortable when I see cheering threads here about restricting other peoples right to watch what they want. Some here have become just like the right wingers. Do we want to be them? It is disturbing.

Would be much more effective if you turned on MSNBC or CNN for a while.
