Why, oh why, does every airport have its TVs tuned to Fox News

[GregW]

Yes, I know, Fox pays to have the propoganda boxes installed - but here I am at the Eugene, Oregon - liberal capital of Oregon - and I have to listen the RW hate-vomit from the box over my head.

1. Complain.

2. Because one last dose of fear before boarding a plane keeps the

gop in "charge."

13. I think it makes everyone rush to board their respective planes.

That's where the barf bags are. So it's a public service.

3. Most of the airports I travel through are tuned to CNN.

Of course, in Atlanta that's not a surprise. But the same is true for Chicago O'Hare, Cincinnati, and Dallas. I'm not a big CNN fan, but compared to Faux News, CNN is positively moderate! A little too apt to promote the missing blond woman stories, but moderate none the less.

18. Same here. I can't think of an airport I've been through that has Fox.

4. I was pleasantly surprised to see CNN, not Fox, at O'Hare this summer.

9. I usually ask them to turn the channel to something else

even if it's one of the gardening channels when I'm subjected to Fox usually in a hospital waiting room. I don't know about the airport though. You could ask.

10. My son's high school does too

I have a little device that hangs on my key chain that turns off most tv's, or when I can actually reach the tv I walk over and turn it off.

I did complain to the principal about it and his reply was that some tv's are tuned to liberal CNN. I informed him the CNN isn't liberal. I also contacted the school board and complained about staff watching tv instead of working - a radio is one thing but a tv set in every office?

11. geeze if you have to ask you just don't get the big picture.

[Buzz Clik]

12. O'Hare plays CNN.

[elehhhhna]

14. SOme (O'Hare for example) have FOX STORES/BAR&GRILLS! Euuw.

I'll bet it's part of the dealio.

16. Complain! Write a complaint! Change the channel yourself.

I always do when I get the car worked on that's all they ever have on too, so I always change it.

[yorkiemommie1]

19. i always write to complain

obviously i can't boycott an airport but i can and do boycott stores and restaurants an i tell them why. i have not forgiven Macy's for blaring FOX in its women's dressing room areas.

the rw never hesitates to complain. i'm sure they're gearing up their ' war on christmas' campaign/boycotts even as we speak.

[AlCzervik]

20. O"Hare has CNN.

[saltpoint]

21. If FOX News wasn't playing in so many airports, people there couldn't have

caught Richard Simmons' and Don King's invaluable contributions on Hurricane Katrina's anniversary.

If that wasn't state-of-the-art tv, I don't by god know what is.
