Dear God in Heaven

I live in BFE America and this morning I had to go have some lab work done at the local hospital. Usually they have the local news playing on the TV's throughout the hospital but not this morning, every gd tv was on faux news. I felt my blood pressure just soaring. The lab tech asked me how I was doing, I laughed and said well hell my blood pressure is up already this morning, what's up with all the tv's being on faux, she told me that the new owners of the hospital set them up and they cant be changed. As I was leaving the hospital I stopped at the main desk and asked who I could leave a complaint with, her eyes got big and said is there a problem? I said YES your forcing me to listen to faux news and its causing me ill health lol. I told her to tell them to put it on cartoons the information would be more accurate. ISH nothing like starting a Monday morning seeing the three stooges on tv. That's my rant for today

Great job using humor to make your point. I find that very helpful when I'm making my jab.

The lobby had one tv blaring. Yup Faux News. I asked if it could be changed or at least turned down. The receptionist apologized and said the Dr required Fox to be playing. I said “the Dr I will be seeing?”
Out of four physicians she said yes, he basically is the Fox News fan. As it was a preliminary visit, getting basic health facts and testing I was scheduled to see nurses.
No lie, I changed appointments for a different Dr. In the practice.
They said that several people had complained but I was the first to ask for a change.
Thus was all pre-Cretin as well.
