“To me, it’s blatant censorship that I find very surprising,” said Greg Quartucci, who has been a member of the YMCA in Valparaiso for more than a decade.
...
Quartucci said the Y has given in to a minority who complained about CNN, and he called it “blatant censorship.”
“It is a Christian organization. It’s all about freedom and opportunity, and what they’re doing, I personally think is against what they have on their walls and against what they have as their mission,” he said.
Sorry, buddy - it's not censorship... it's freedom of choice. Exercise your freedom and go somewhere else if you want to see fake news.
The YMCA will only show local news instead of national news.
Do they have someone going around making sure no one has there tv set to CNN? Seems a bit extreme. Its not like anyone but the people watching can hear the sound.

I agree, the Planet Fitness I go to has 24 TV's,
Fox News takes up at least 4 of them if i remember correctly. CNN 0.
At my YMCA one tv has CNN and the other is fox news. I don't like neither but people have a right to listen to either or. If airports turn off CNN, it all comes backs who donotes money to the company. Every company has pay for play.

Poor Greg. He'll have to go elsewhere to get his daily dose of fake news.
I don't either but people at my club would be working out on treadmills yelling at each other. I know it's ridiculous, but if the people using the sports club can't act like adults, then management has to step in.

So if CNN is fake news, what exactly is "real news"? Breitbart?!?
