Wausau Daily Herald

The Stoney Creek Inn, 1100 Imperial Ave., in Rothschild has dropped the 24-hour news channels CNN and CNN Headline News from its basic cable offerings.

Tony M. stayed at the inn Monday night and said he was told by a receptionist that the hotel chain’s corporate office had issued a letter calling for the removal of the channels because CNN aids terrorists.

Stoney Creek Hospitality Corp. manages 10 hotels in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin. The 107-room inn near the Cedar Creek Mall opened in 1997.
-----------
James Thompson, owner and chief executive officer of Stoney Creek Hospitality Corp. is conveniently not available today. Also Fox is still available.

1. Are people just more stupid than they used to be ?

[create.peace]

[Tight_rope]

25. YES....Bush has made it become a proven FACT!

[Javaman]

34. Yes, being dumb is the new "cool". nt

[Greeby]

2. Depends which terrorist organisation he means

If, as I doubt, he means the Republican Party, then I'd agree with him ;)

[leftofthedial]

3. well, if you understand that capitalism IS terrorism

then fine

but that doesn't explain why Fox is still available


idiots

[wholetruth00]

4. They never have to worry about me lodging at one of their hotels.

It's their right to pull any channel they want. It's my right to choose to stay somewhere else.

6. I just emailed the chain

using my corporate account and let them know they can expect NO business from my company (a Fortune 100)....that might get their attention (or get me fired! LOL!!!)

18. You should copy the head of CNN

I'm sure they'd be glad to know about this.

[Tigress DEM]

21. What is that email?

I'm just an individual, but I won't stay their either.

Anyone who ONLY prefers Faux News probably will go in and help themselves to items you might accidentally think are safe because they are locked in your room.

Anyone who ONLY prefers Faux News isn't in the Reality Based Community and it's hard to know if they will think you must be a spy because you are wearing blue jeans on Tuesday and drag you off to a detention facility and call the FBI.

5. The civil war begins!

[FernBell]

7. Do they hand out tinfoil hats along with the room keys?

[Tigress DEM]

22. ROFL!!

[KAZ]

8. Hmm. They have an 800 number.

800-659-2220

9. SEND THEM A MESSAGE 'NUKING' THEM - I JUST DID. :^) THE LINK IS:

10. Always be polite. nt

[colonel odis]

31. that link takes you to a retail store called stoney creek inn, i believe.

never mind. my mistake. i must be on drugs this morning. or at least unable to read.

[mainer]

11. Haha. Yet they still allow MSNBC.

Don't they know about our own darling Keith Olberman?

[ixion]

12. CNN should sue

the hotel is entitled to drop them, but to claim that they 'aid' terrorists is pure slander, IMO.

[Anakin Skywalker]

13. And Fox News is pro-fascist. I guess they'd rather have that?

[lebkuchen]

14. Please replace it with BBC or CBC

thank you.

[depakid]

15. and Fox is still available

LOL.

One down- one to go....

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Anyone stupid enough to call CNN "pro-terrorist" must be . . .

. . . a Bush Bubbah.

There, take that, Mr. Thompson.

[beckstcw]

17. Well to be fair,

I can see where they are coming from. But yanking the channel is WAY over the line.

[Hissyspit]

19. Fox News is Pro-Terrorist. They support Bush's agenda and Bush has been doing

everything bin Laden has wanted him to do. You can see where they are coming from?? Where are they coming from?

[phusion]

24. Huh?

Can you explain to me how they aid terrorists?

[ronnie624]

26. In a way, the charge is true.

Not, however, in the manner the above poster or the idiot CEO of Stoney Creek Hospitality Corp. might believe.

The corporatist media have clearly demonstrated their unqualified support for the Bush administration's agenda - an agenda which every expert on terrorism in the world agrees, will increase dramatically the likelihood of more terrorist attacks in the United States. Thus, through disseminating propaganda on behalf of the Bush administration, does CNN indeed aid terrorists.

[goddess40]

29. all main stream media aids terrorists by supporting the right

My husband said that some of the hotels he stays in don't have MSNBC available unless you punch the numbers in to the remote. So someone has gone into the individual TV's main menu and deleted it from the line up so you can't click your way to watch it. He can now take the FAUX channel out in the rooms he stays in.

[ShortnFiery]

27. I don't see at all "where they are coming from" ... no it's SICK thinking.

:wtf: does being biased for the terrorists mean? Oh, I bet that translates as being against Dear Leader in any way, shape or form? I didn't know the terrorists were for a "democratic republic" in this nation. That's odd. :eyes:

Yes, I'm sure they prefer the Right Wing propaganda that FOX spews in favor of the RNC. :thumbsdown:

[CatholicEdHead]

23. What a joke

Even after all that has happened the last few years this crap happens.

[MeDeMax]

28. Stoney Crook Hospitality == Stoned Crooked Hostility

heh heh ! couldn't resist.

[superconnected]

30. Gee and half his patrons will like to watch cnn.

Wonder how he's going to feel when it loses him money.

[KamaAina]

32. Well, damn, there go my vacation plans

I've been longing to see Rothschild, Wis., since I was a small boy. :sarcasm: Now I'll just have to settle for boring old New Orleans or something. Damn it all to hell. :P

33. What whiners. nt
