McDonald's and Faux News

[Norbert]

Why is it that every time I stop into a McDonalds their TV without fail is on FAUX News.

The other day I was contemplating eating in before the gym or just taking a carry out to the gym parking lot since it was a pleasant day. Well Faux and Fiends was on TV and I exercised a third option and that was to just leave. The last thing I want is an appetite killer/nausea enhancer.

Has anyone else noticed this and why? Marching orders?

1. CNN is playing in all the ones around here that have TVs

Where you live may have something to do with it.

2. Why do they even have TVs at McDonald's?

It's been a few years since I've been to one, but I don't remember any TVs there. Do people actually watch?

3. In my experience, it's not just McD's

It's doctors' offices, dentists' offices, quickie-lube places, nursing homes - you name it. It's not a recent phenomenon either, as I started noticing the number of teevees spewing FAUX garbage even before Dim Son got (s)elected.

5. How do you eat McDonald's before going to the gym &

not vomit everytime you go?

6. Around here it's normally on CNN

And seriously, eating McDonald's before the gym?

7. I think a lot of it

might have to do with the pretty people that faux seems to hire. Many people are drawn to pretty people rather than substance. I could be wrong though

8. This is how FAUX can continue to claim highest viewership.

They supply TVs with the proviso that they stay on Faux. When I go to a restaurant that has one showing that shit, I demand they change it or turn it off. If they refuse, I leave.

Even saw it in a gay bar once, but at least the sound was muted, which is probably a violation of Murdoch's slimy agreement.

9. Shell stations now have videos at the pump--all Fox News,

10. I was in a McD's in CA that had MSNBC on

Another one that used to have Fox on all the time switched to CNN.
