Meaning you can't (or won't) accept any information if it's from Fox News, right? Very "open-minded" of you!

But I do think about it but until this week never said anything.
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.
Kev you have illustrated beautifully the miserable mentality of Liberalism, going through life looking for things to be offended by , hoping everyday that you will have the opportunity to call someone or something racist, searching desperately to find something you can perceive as hateful. All so that you can elevate yourself and justify your sick twisted Ideology. What a way to go through life. BTW Kev, just going by the numbers, the large majority of people coming into that Dentist office prefer Fox news over all the other channels combined......explains why it was on in the first place and who is really on the nutcase fringe!

Ditto. I am forced to watch CNN at every airport in the country and I don't mind. It appears some people are so agitated politically to the point that they've become socially dysfunctional. Wow.

Most airports know that CNN would be a proper compromise. They're to the right of MSNBC and to the left of Murdoch's propaganda channel..

Is this the "propaganda" you are claiming?

2008 Election Coverage

Fox News
40% of John McCain stories were negative
40% of Barrack Obama stories were negative

Compare with MSNBC

73% of John McCain stories were negative
14% of Barrack Obama stories were negative

Hopefully you now know what the true propaganda station is (but I doubt you will accept facts).

Why does a waiting room or a gym need to have a television?
Why does a clothes store need to have a loud radio playing while you shop?
Why do we need music in elevators and grocery stores and malls?

Because it's the best way to fill your head with garbage and to overwhelm your senses so you can't discern your thoughts from the ones that didn't originate inside yourself. We are an unconscious people ripe for manipulation.

Face it most of them have no clue what you are talking about. They are angry anti-American freedom people who just make up stuff in their heads.

What do you expect, their leaders just produce a scam HC bill that screwed themselves out of free HC.

None of them are too smart and these idiots are running our country.

They know in their heart they are done as a party. Not enough of them to win many elections after the 3 musketeers have produce one failure and mistake after another.

They aren't too smart, that's for sure!
They should be glad there is a news station like Fox News to provide a balance to the other obviously left-wing stations (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS).

But in their minds, if it isn't a left-wing station, it can't be credible. And they claim they are the ones who are "open-minded!"

Not at all. I've posted links on this very forum to news items from the Fox news website, one as recently as this week.

Of course the headline was misleading...

Well they have 8 of the 10 top shows, the highest rated channel and have 5 multi millionaires having their own shows tells me the left is worried sick.

Libs cannot stand success especially when it shows they are in the minority.
