I couldn't even imagine abandoning a great company with an impeccable reputation just because they have CNN on in their waiting area. Not just crazy but intolerance on an epic level.
And I can't imagine a company not understanding that some people don't want to watch GOP propaganda and choose not to be forced to watch it when they can take their money and support another business that doesn't force it on them.

Oh good grief , if they don't want to watch it then they can go to their rooms like everybody else, and watch what they want. Nobody is forcing them hang out in the lobby. What spoiled brats!

And what about the people that do like to watch Fox news? Don't they get any respect, or is it only the liberal people who insist that everybody else has to do their will. Live, and let live.

First of all, I have no idea what type business you were referring to. I assumed it was some type of service where people waited in the lobby until they were seen, until their car was serviced, etc. Meaning that they had no other options but to watch what was played on the lobby tv.

Second, why are you so intolerant? No one said you couldn't play Fox, just that people had every bit as much right to choose to patronize a business that doesn't. Why is it that respect is supposed to only go one way? Respect the right of people to make a different choice and you might get respect. Disrespect others and it gets returned back to you.

Then why are you commenting on a post that you never read? Back up a little so you can understand better. I did say that they could go to their rooms which should give a hint. I'm not the only one commenting on this. And so what if Fox is on, get over it. I don't whine if CNN is on, no biggie.

The party of "tolerance" is the most intolerant of all.

Wrong again. No one should have to avoid the lobby of a business they frequent, when they can choose to patronize another establishment that doesn't force them to watch what they consider objectionable programming. Intolerance would be telling someone they have to watch it or else stay in their rooms. Tolerance is saying that the business can play whatever they want, since the person who doesn't want to see it simply chooses to patronize another establishment.

Why do you have to have either one on? Why not something more neutral like the Food Network?

Sounds like you're trying to create unnecessary drama which isn't good for business.

In case you haven't figured it out yet it's NOT my hotel/motel. But I do agree with them. Try to keep up.

I wish some of the people who post on City Data who think they will find their political and social paradise would update their threads after they move. I want to know how many are howling mad because their new home doesn't fit their fantasy, and how many are happy after they've settled into the reality.

I'm really happy to have left Southern Utah, LOL, even though we were a blue dot in that great red state.
It's very socialistic here, everyone has schooling, affordable health care, secure jobs. Pretty nice.


What really gets me is people like my BIL who left CA adamantly opposed to its politics. Yet, he's a retired firefighter gliding along on the golden parachute of 100% + retirement package, and all the other "Democratic" benefits CA offers.


IMO, you can't have it both ways. But I guess he is, now living his dream in TX, LOL. With CA money!
