2. Now that you mention it, FOX was not on yesterday at the dealership
as you said it was CNN...

I was tuned in to Hartmann using their wireless, but you are right.

First time I go and they don't run FOX.

4. We went to a McDonald's that had FOX on
I vowed to never do business with that one again.

The nail shop I go to plays CNN.

9. I saw a report a few weeks ago that said the McD's with TVs were REQUIRED to show only FOX.
That's pretty sad.

11. Shows you how long it's been since I was last in a McDonald's
They didn't even have TVs at that point. I really do not understand why restaurants feel compelled to have ANY TV present. Can't people even eat in peace without it anymore?

5. I was at a bar a few months ago and FAUX was on one of about six TV's on that side of the bar.
It was Cheney. I commented to the the person behind the bar that nobody wanted "to see that asshole." She changed the channe...to applause.

6. A hotel in Providence, RI always has Faux on in the breakfast lounge.
In one of the bluest states in the nation no less! I stay there fairly often. When I finally got fed up and wanted to change the channel, there was no remote and no buttons to push! So I asked the desk guy if there was a way to change the channel. He said unfortunately no. Later that day I ventured in for a coffee and noticed the TV was on ESPN! I immediately went to the desk and asked to talk to the manager and told him what had transpired that morning with the desk clerk essentially lying to me. I said I don't like being lied to and it was very obvious to me the guy just didn't care to let a guest have the remote to change the channel. Haven't had any problems since! BTW, the hotel is the La Quinta in Warwick.

7. A month ago I stayed at the Marriott
Very nice and fancy. When I got the Email survey I gave them 10s on everything. When I got to the comments I said I'll never stay there again and pay $150 for a room that only has FOX news and no MSNBC. The cable listing in the room had MSNBC, but it had been removed.

12. If the hotel is serviced by Comcast, it's not the hotel's fault
Comcast removed MSNBC from analog cable in most (all?) markets in the last few years.
