I've had it! My letter to my doctor's office:
Dear Physicians:
I would like to kindly ask that you refrain from airing Fox News in the waiting room of your clinic. Every single time I'm there,“Faux News” has the attention of the captive audience of folks waiting for their appointments.
The American public is already lacking in critical thinking skills – subjecting them to drivel only exacerbates the problem. If television has to be ever-present in any public space (and that’s a question worth considering . . . is it for the employees or the patients?), why not a health care program?
The last thing we need is right wing propaganda tacitly endorsed by our health care professionals.
