Ha,ha, faux noise is a tad peeved that airports are showing CNN 24 - 7

(and I know it’s from faux that I got this). and has CNN turned to the left recently???

CNN’s ubiquitous presence in airports -- where it broadcasts from thousands of screens to a captive audience of millions -- is facing new scrutiny after the cable network's hard left turn.

The CNN Airport network dates back to when CNN was known for straightforward news programming -- and has been a fixture at airports since before competitors MSNBC and Fox News even existed. But critics are now asking if busy travelers should be subjected to CNN’s increasingly ideological programming -- at gates, bars, food courts and baggage claims -- which can include on-screen chyrons or subtitles that gleefully mock President Trump. Many travelers have even taken to Twitter and started online petitions to urge airports to change the channel.

Who brings foxnews links here? And what is evidence for CNN’s “hard left turn” other than GOP elected a fuckstick for president and going after him is like shooting fish in a barrel?

I must have missed the CNN show where they were advocating the replacement of capitalism with workers' soviets

But no peep from them about FoxNews being on everywhere else I visit.

I even remember one time last year I was staying at a Residence Inn and turned on the tv. It was on fox. I didn’t think anything of it, just that whoever stayed in the room before was a right winger. So I turn the tv to MSNBC. Sometime later I leave to get something to eat and turn off the tv. I come back to the room and turn back on the tv. And it is back on Fox. I am like WTF I know I wasn’t watching fox. I turn the tv to ESPN and then turn it back off. I then turn it back on, and yep it’s back on Fox. I then go to the other room and do the same. And Fox is the default channel.

That hotel had the nerve to preprogram the TVs to Fox.
