I took my nephew to the dentist and the dentist had FOX News playing on the TV in the waiting room. A waiting room is not like a store where I can be and out quickly. It is a place where I am forced to wait for long periods of time to see the dentist (or doctor). I was a bit offended and I told the receptionist after 10 minutes "I don't mind waiting but I would rather not be subjected to right wing racism and ranting while I am waiting". I asked if the channel could be changed and, to my surprise, she handed me the DirecTV remote and told me to put it on what I wanted!
Well beings there were 2 other people in the waiting room, I did not choose the Speed Channel but I did change it to CNN Headline News. I think everybody appreciated that! BTW I know I mistyped dentist but I cannot edit the headline.

Wow you asked to change the channel and they let you how nice of them to LET YOU CHOOSE TO WATCH SOMETHING ELSE. If we could only choose what healthcare insurance we want or dont want. Good thing free market enterprise still let you choose what you can watch on TV :-)
Liberty still works and you got to put on CNN the communist news network.
PS I hate fox news.
If I could only choose not to be via laws instructed with the IRS to tell them how much I make, if I have insurance and choose my own individual choices in life. That includes what I put into my body.

When I was a kid our dentist had John Birch reading material in his waiting room. But to this day I get compliments on the wonderful work he did by other dentists.

If it bothers you.....Bring a book.

Not a chance. Their minds a shut tight and rarely open past the left winger propaganda they have sucked up.

The thing that gets me about the OP is that even though it was apparently the nephew that needed dental treatment, the OP goes on to make the post all about himself. Can he prove that Fox News had a racist rant on at that time? Is there a link?

I guess he is just selfish that way? Choose a dental office over what they play in the waiting room over the quality of dentel care his nephew is receiving?

It pretty well describes liberal/progressive agenda doesn't it? The seem to make it all about them and how they know what is better for everyone else while imposing that will upon others.

One thing is standard. Liberals rarely look past themselves or thier own agendas. Notice that one has not come back. Is it possible his pat on his own back hurt?

Bravo. I always judge the competency of my healthcare practitioner by what TV channel he has on. Let's hope your proctologist watches "Animal Planet".

They were dressed up like Nazis and carrying Rebel flags to try and make the TEA parties look bad. It was a big day for those on the left.
