1. mmmmm - all the military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.

According to Al Franken.

I think Walmart entered some deal to show Faux in their stores and some gas stations with little TVs at the pumps showing Faux.

Someone wrote a story on it. They said Fox pays to have the TVs set to their station.

After my heart attack in summer 2003, I entered cardiac rehab for 3 months at the hospital's gym. There were several TeeVees, and all I saw were Faux and CNN. Oh, yeah, and some "Price is Right," requested by another health club member.

I remember thinking this crap was the worst kind of therapy for my heart...:grr:

on edit: the health center was Baptist Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri

7. Toyota's car service waiting room - Fort Myers, Florida
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 04:53 PM by Maraya1969
I tried to change the channel but couldn't. I should have complained but I took the opportunity to talk about what an idiot George Bush is with some others waiting for their cars.

9. Fairfield Inn - Atlanta
Fox comes up as the default station when you turn on the room TV.

Not surprising, since Marriot spent $$$$ on the Coronation Of King George.

I cut up my rewards card and sent it back to Corporate HQ, along with a liitle "note" as to why.

15. DancingBear, I work at a hotel north of boston, and I went through
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 05:16 PM by rockedthevoteinMA
all the 29 rooms we have last summer and blocked FAUX news. (childish, I know, but...) Everytime I stay in a hotel, I block FAUX, so hopefully the next guest won't be able to watch. FAUX viewers seem to lack the skills necessary to figure out how to unblock a channel.

12. Nope
The doctors and dentists offices (even a Jiffy Lube I was at) have mostly CNN or MSNBC on. But then here on Long Island, we are probably too close to Ground Zero, to accept the brainwashing. OSAMA BINLADEN was responsible for 9/11, NOT SADDAM.

21. I know - it makes me ill.
I made a crack about it being propaganda news, and the guy behind the counter smiled at me, kinda seemed like he agreed. I think I read an article a while back about how FAUX gives money to certain places to always be tuned in to their channel. (Can't remember where I read it though).

Um, not really...

But I was at a client the other day, a machine shop, that was blaring that station all day long. No one seemed to mind.
