circulating a petition to require citizenship to vote. I guess by doing that it makes their morons think non citizens are now voting.

I change it myself. They will complain, give dirty looks, and blubber to management (rightwingers are hypocrites who run crying to authority when it suits them). But what the fuck gives THEM the right to always have THEIR channel on a public TV everywhere.

Persist. Demand the channel be changed. Explain why Fox is so toxic to the public and the country. Find a few clips of Fox being racist, lying, insulting etc and show it to the manager. If you go to a YMCA, remind them what that "C" stands for, and find a few clips of some "fine christian values" being pushed by the Fox. Insist that if other members can change the channel to the Fox "news" Sewer, YOU ALSO have the same right to change it to something else.

I told management that if there were a policy that members could not change the TV, they'd better enforce that policy on everyone, not just me.

It took a long time, but there are only a couple of fox-addicted assholes who still put it on the public TVs, the rest leave the public ones alone and just watch the TVs built in to the cardio machines.

One of the assholes will watch Fox on the treadmill's built in TV, and still think he has to put in on the flatscreen up on the wall as well.
