Let's limit the fox news mouthpiece [View all]

Recently President Obama said that it's a problem that everywhere you go there's fixed news blaring, sometimes with several screens so no matter where you are, there it is!

Today while waiting on my car to be serviced, there it was, fixed news, couldn't get away from it, 3 different screens! Didn't see a channel changer, so when I saw a suit walk past, I nicely but firmly said that not everyone wants to watch fox news. He was actually very nice, and agreed. Got the channel changer and voila. Now, I don't know if it stayed that way but... just sayin'

The next time I go in a restaurant, bar or any public establishment where fixed news is on if they won't change it, I'm leaving and I'm going to let them know why. If I make a reservation, I'm going to ask in they play fixed news, if they do I'm going to say well then just cancel my reservation. I'm going to ask all my friends family and all you DUer's to PLEASE do the same.
