So I go to my dermatologist today and FOX was on the tv in the waiting room.

[L0oniX]

I asked the receptionist to please change the tv to any other channel. A guy came out and looked at the tv and went back in the office. Sooooo ...I walked up to the open window and made sure everyone heard me say "You can either change the channel or I am canceling my appointment". Soooo one of the other people there asked my why I wanted the tv changed. I said (and I was quite pissed by now) "I don't want to hear propaganda from FOX while I am waiting ....and if you don't change it now, I am going to leave and never come back here". So they changed it to MSNBC. You should have seen the looks on all their faces when I threatened to leave and never come back over it. I was thinking ...WTF you asscarrots ...I am the one paying for your fucking pay check. Mutha fuckas ...don't fuck with me. Of course I mentioned the incident to the doctor who was quite understanding and after saying he also did not like FOX assured me that he would make some changes. Spank!

[trueblue2007]

4. Hate freedom of speach. You have got to be kidding

That is the dumbest remark. Why should I have to hear that crap? What about MY freedom of speach?

[Bigmack]

10. The spelling tells you the poster is using sarcasm. nt

[woo me with science]

17. LOL

I love the teaching that goes on here at DU.

2. Good technique!

I'll have to use that.

[Bigmack]

5. The rabid Faux watchers/believers...

are bad, but the people who just have it on for "backround noise" are worse. They half-hear and half-watch that shit and never realize that their opinions are being subtly molded. They don't keep up on the real news, but if somebody asks their opinion, they parrot back a Faux talking point or made-up "fact".

[L0oniX]

11. That's about what I said to the doctor "I can always tell when someones been watching FOX...

because of the crap they say".

[Echo In Light]

139. The crap they say reflecting the truly horrific bullshit they actually BELIEVE

Good for you. I too have been in similar situations re a waiting room for doctor/dentist, and if that poison jive is on I'll sometimes strike up convos w/others just to get a feel of where they're at, so to speak ...a lot of people know better. Many, unfortunately, do not since FOX propaganda has become so normalized throughout the corporate culture, so the lies/disinfo become like the air people breath: taken for granted they mindlessly assume it to be accurate and truthful.

[HopeHoops]

6. Good for YOU!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

7. Nice work. You've inspired me to do the same thing at my next visit to the car dealership

that does my services.

This should go viral.

[nomaco-10]

8. Good for you. Glad you did and glad you are sharing...

it here. Maybe it will give others the encouragement to speak up in similar circumstances.

Merely taking a firm stand, and the poster got what he/she wanted, so looks like they win, eh? You can't convert someone stupid enough to believe anything on FOX news is worth watching, but you can refuse to have your own environment polluted by such filth, and it looks like this poster did just that, and quite well.

Odd to see someone posting on a Democratic board having a problem with someone standing up against Faux News, but this place does attract ALL kinds.

32. Know what Loonix, I'm all for asking channel to be changed POLITELY BUT FIRMLY

the way your OP reads, it does sound like you were pitching a tantrum.

You want to influence people, act like an adult. Be an example that people can respect.

[L0oniX]

34. I dissagree with you. Where do you read that I started out with anger"?

"I asked the receptionist to please change the tv to any other channel." Note the word "PLEASE".

[KittyWampus]

45. right, and then read the rest of your post. However, I don't want to argue. I agree about changing

the channel. Just would prefer if people do so, be polite but firm. :)

[LaurenG]

26. Fox is a terrible station/company. They are at least half the problem with this country.

Someone took a stand, the best way they knew how, it seems to me you'd be happy about that. :shrug:

37. Even sadder that you reply; guess that means your day is pretty boring

[vadawg]

42. yup it is today, stuck inside waiting for something to happen.

[LanternWaste]

83. I imagine that's almost as sad as...

"ad that this is the highlight of your day and then to post it too."

I imagine it's almost as sad as a person who feels compelled to point that out and post their own disappointment about it the original scenario.

Yet as we all tend to pompously pontificate over subjective irrelevancies at one time or another, I imagine that at the end of the day, it's little more than a wash who's point of view is more petulant than another.

[vadawg]

85. its the internets, all our posts ar petulant, i think it brings out the worst in everybody

we all see ourselves as the saviour of every thread and in the end it just disappears down the page until its gone, at least until drags it back up for oneupmanship again.

[LanternWaste]

87. I see it also bringing out the best in people as well as wost

Possibly; though I see it also bringing out the best in people as well as wost, so that too seems to be a wash at the end of the day. I imagine we see far more in others of what we actively look for.

I imagine it's simply a matter of recognizing who's petulance is habitual and ineffectual to the original point, as opposed to the times in which it is engaged in merely for the dramatic point, or to blow off steam so to speak...




Thank goodness most of the posters I interact with on a daily basis see themselves as anything but your Savior of Threads, however (and for what it's worth to anyone) I will indeed be on the lookout from this point on for posters wearing capes and masks.

[vadawg]

89. for me the internet is just something i use to pass time when i have to work the ADC

i dont take it personally, i get cursed at and abused 1000 times worse whilst im sitting here than could ever appear on the internet. Its a good learning tool but i dont want or need to live my life through ot.

[PearliePoo2]

18. Yeah.

Good for you for speaking up.
I'm inspired to do the same thing.
Recommended.

:patriot:

[WI_DEM]

20. Now what if another patient had said, "No, I'm watching it and if you change it I'll leave."

I'm glad you had good luck but I think it's much ado about nothing.

[L0oniX]

28. Some people will take a stand ...others won't ...but when a president has to point out ...

that a certain network has it in for him it's time to do something about it. Maybe you approve of Glen Back or Bill O Liely? I would force the doctor to make a choice and if it's for FOX then fine ...I'll take my money and go elsewhere. They should not have had FOX on to begin with and maybe now they will think about that.

[chill_wind]

33. Yup.

Glad it worked out in this case but a whole waiting room full of other people could have said exactly that. Solution? Get rid of the damned thing and all the noise pollution altogether.

[Dramarama]

123. Truth

[havocmom]

25. good on you! But... 'asscarrots'?

never heard that one. :rofl:

[Obamanaut]

35. It's just t.v. Carry a book with you and read. Get an ipod and listen

[L0oniX]

40. I'd rather fight the power. n/t

[tammywammy]

44. Yea, really fighting the power there at the dermatologist.

bwah

[vadawg]

48. roflmao, fecking class

[Vektor]

71. It can start anywhere...

The OP did, and FAUX NEWS got switched off. So, yeah, fighting the power indeed.

[spotbird]

76. Taking a stand is the right thing to do

Enough of sitting by passively, a polite firm stand is called for.

[L0oniX]

122. So ...where's your balls? Where are your approved places to protest FOX?

Yea right ...that's what I thought.

[tammywammy]

125. I don't watch it that's how I protest it. n/t

[Dragonfli]

133. I agree with you, It's not "just TV ", it's propaganda and should not be tolerated

A stupid sit-com would be "just TV", propaganda is actually quite dangerous, some people don't get that.

[DLnyc]

63. Television has sound carefully tuned to grab your attention. It is not practical

to read a book or carry on a conversation while the clowns on FOX are using every high-tech device known to grab everyone's attention.

It is obscene that some feel it appropriate to impose their video habit on the captive public in places like doctor's offices and airports.

Good for the OP for standing up for a basic right not to have one's mind reamed while waiting for the doctor.

[progressoid]

131. It's not just T.V.

It's RW propaganda.

[progressoid]

132. Oops, double post.

So here's a picture of Sean Hannity with some hookers...

[Pacifist Patriot]

136. It's worth saving others from that propaganda.

I always ask for the station to be changed if FNC is on in a public place. I am polite and 9 times out of 10 the station is changed. I usually have someone thank me for stepping forward about it too. I occasionally get nasty looks, but hey, if I can spare them from that dreck, it's worth a few glares. If they really want to be indoctrinated they can do it at home. The rest of us don't have to be exposed to it if we can help it. Might do some of them some good to be exposed to something else for a change.

[lapfog_1]

39. When did it happen that all "public space" TVs

have to be tuned into Faux?

It happened, sometime in the last 9 years. Almost without comment.

The only exception is a major sports event or local team sports event. Otherwise, Faux.

[KittyWampus]

43. That is actually a very good question. It would make an excellent OP. How did it happen

surely not by accident.

It's been posted that Fox gives out free tv's to businesses in exchange for tuning into their channel.

[lapfog_1]

46. Faux is included in almost all "basic cable" plans

where as MSNBC is not.

However, Headline News is included as well, and at least it used to just be "news" reported over and over every 30 minutes, with the next 30 minutes including a "breaking" news story to bump an "old news" story off the air.

Boring, but hey, if you only have a few minutes during the day to catch the news...

But that's changed to the point where it's all tabloid and talking heads (cheaper to do than real news).

And now it's all twitter crap and blogs and stuff. No more real news.

[KittyWampus]

55. Well, we can then ask why basic cable included Fox.

[chill_wind]

58. Or why MSNBC isn't.

[L0oniX]

117. Hell ...I wouldn't have FOX on tv if it were the last tv on earth with only the FOX channel.

I'd rather listen to trucker CB radio and that would probably be a more intelligent conversation.

[chill_wind]

56. When did it happen that all public spaces have to have TV's period?

Over decades and decades, I know-- but I wish I had money for every time I walked in a waiting room with the TV blaring away and I felt like asking everyone just staring at it in a half-attentive daze-- are you people even watching this or can we just turn this damned off? ( But I never do and that's just me. )

[LuckyLib]

134. This is my pet peeve. I have asked more than once to "turn the damned thing off or down"

to get my point across. We don't need that idiot box as the background to our lives.

[Pacifist Patriot]

137. I do that too. I mentioned above that I do ask the channel to be changed, but...

really just as often I'm likely to ask if they can turn it off period. I cannot tell you how many times I have been met with looks of utter relief from both employees and patrons. Hey, I figure they can always tell me "no." Never hurts to ask nicely.

[TuxedoKat]

41. Wow, good for you.

Hope I have the courage to do this next time it happens to me.

[Forkboy]

47. I would have let you leave to find another doctor, to be honest.

Honestly, if fifteen minutes of Fox gets you so upset that you would change doctors I'd be glad to send you to one of them if I was them.

Nothing wrong with speaking your mind as you did, don't get me wrong. But I don't take to threats well, so in their place I would have told you that you're welcome to choose a doctor who plays a station you like.

I don't like Fox either, but I can't ever imagine letting it get to me to the point where I would think about changing doctors over it, especially as waiting lists for Dermatologists is almost a year now. :shrug:

[tammywammy]

49. Seriously n/t

[anigbrowl]

52. Yes. Polite requests are one thing, petulant ultimatums another.

I think the reason people were staring in shock was not because they're devoted Fox watcher, but because the OP was so rude. I watch about 3 minutes a year of Fox, so I didn't need Bill O Reilly's help to work that one out.

[spotbird]

77. Do you have an objection to O'Reilly's

petulance? What alternative is there when a proprietor forces their political views on its customers, but to take business elsewhere and let the business know why? The proprietor can proselytize for the Republicans and lose business, or put something on the tube which isn't overtly political, or turn the tube off, but they understand the choices. It makes perfect sense to issue the ultimatum, then follow through. There is a lot of competition in the dermatology business these days.

[L0oniX]

120. I started out saying "please" and got ignored and that's when I got on their case. There are plenty

of dermatologists down here in the sun belt and I would have gladly gone to another had they insisted on having FOX on tv.

[Vektor]

88. Luckily, this doctor's office had the good sense to not do something so bad for business.

And the doctor himself did not like FOX news either, so he probably appreciated the heads up that bilge was being pumped out through the TV screen at his patients in the waiting room.

The OP did the right thing, and so did the doctor's office in turning that mind rot off.

[Forkboy]

93. That patient's spot could be filled in a heartbeat.

Wouldn't have hurt his business in the slightest. I wasn't kidding when I said the wait for these guys is almost a year long. I've had an appointment scheduled for November since last January.

Fox sucks, and if I was working there it wouldn't have been on anyways, but losing one patient, even if they go on and tell others not to come, will have zero effect on business.

[Vektor]

101. I wouldn't be so sure.

I worked for many years at a dermatologist's office, and the last thing they want is constant turnover because they cannot keep their patients happy. Maybe they could have filled the spot, but if they are consistently having patients come and go, that is a hell of a lot of extra paperwork for patients who will not become a solid client base.

Besides, most dermatologist's office make their bread and butter with the cosmetic (private pay) side of things. That has a strong customer service component. Waiting for medicare (or a big-wig insurance company) to pay you a stipend to treat rashes, moles, and zits is not how Derms get by.

It's with Botox, lasers, and cosmetic stuff, and customers pay insane amounts of money to be kept happy. Pissing off customers is a VERY bad idea, no matter how quickly you think you can replace them.

[treestar]

115. Right, it is stupid - do they want only Republicans as patients?

It's just plain stupidity.

[Vektor]

119. I know I wouldn't!

:-)

Can you imagine how miserable that clientele would be?

[mnhtnbb]

90. Takes a week to get an appt. with a dermatologist here.

I have walked out of a dermatologist's office when I'd been waiting 90 minutes.

I used to wait that long for my OB in Los Angeles--but I expected that.

[Forkboy]

97. Damn.

Wish it was that way everywhere. x(

http://fora.tv

[catbyte]

62. Keep it up...

I do the same thing myself. We have a plasma TV in the lobby of the building I work in. It's usually tuned to CNN, but in the past they've turned it to Fox Noise. I immediately had a hissy fit and made them change it on the spot. The front desk peopole looked at me like I was a crazy woman, but I don't care. I work for a state-supported university and students don't need to hear that crap all day. I've raised such a stink that now, if the can't get CNN, they switch it to MSNBC. (The connection is weird & CNN doesn't come in all the time.)

to change the channel :evilgrin: The onco's nurse couldn't figure you how it was happening. We were just sitting there....

[sweetpotato]

64. I asked my doctor the other day

How many of your patients come back here and THANK YOU for having the TV on in the waiting room - he said NONE.

I then told him to put on record that I objected to the TV in the waiting room and I'd like at least to have it on closed captioning if it has to be on at all. The *news* makes my blood pressure go up. How is that good for a doctor's office?

[FLAprogressive]

65. You have a doc who's not a Republican?!

[Vektor]

72. Every doc I have ever had/known has been a staunch dem.

I suppose Repub docs exist, but I have yet to get to know one.

Prior to fleeing to the S.F. bay area to escape a right wing hellhole red county, the only people who I could have a decent conversation with were the doctors I knew, including my GP. (I work in a hospital.) The educated/well off people in town were the liberals, and the ones who could have used the most help (the kind that humanitarian, populist liberal policy would have provided them) were the brainwashed conservative masses.

Those people are probably still voting against their best interests to this very day, but I'm long gone. I can't live in a county like that.

[FLAprogressive]

74. all the doctors in FL are Republicans.

[Vektor]

75. Ew. Maybe they all flock to that area?

Hard to say. :shrug:

[cwydro]

107. Not in the Keys.

[Pacifist Patriot]

109. Interesting. I'm in a particularly red area of Florida and my doctors are...

all definitely progressives and detest the Republican party. You need to go do some doctor shopping my friend.

[FLAprogressive]

127. which area, if I may ask?

[redqueen]

66. Good on ya.

Thanks for standing up for broadcasting fewer lies and distortions in the waiting room. :)

[katmondoo]

67. I applaud LOoniX

I would have done the same thing. No TV would be better. I walk out of every place that plays Fox no matter what.

[L0oniX]

105. Indeed ...if no one takes a stand how will they know just how much FOX is despised n/t

[ismnotwasm]

68. LOL

I do a lot of inpatient dialysis, which means I'm the room often and for a while. I can't tell you how many times Fox has been on, and I'm internally cringing and biting my tongue. I'd love to be able to turn that shit off.

On the other hand, I'll occasionally get a well informed patient who will watch one of the other news stations (I've noticed dedicated fox news watchers aren't the--well, we'll say-- aren't the deepest thinkers) and I'm still stuck, but I get this wonderful commentary and sometimes very good information. Go figure. Fox isn't news; it's a form of infected media bile.

[L0oniX]

121. FOX ...the mark of stupid! n/t

[graywarrior]

69. Nice work!

[applegrove]

73. I used to work in an international airport. They had advertisements

up on the television monitors that were in the waiting areas. That or nothing. I felt that likely 20 years ago they probably had CNN on all the time. Now they have to put up nothing because I'm sure the various networks would complain if only one network was presented. Too bad they couldn't put anything up on the monitors.

[mnhtnbb]

I'll move to someplace where it's quiet.

My doctor runs a non-stop commercial advertising medical products.

[Pacifist Patriot]

138. One of my doctors has it on a "healthy living" channel.

First time I saw it I figured it was hawking stuff. Paid attention to it once and it really did have good practical common sense advice. Of the put down the cigarette and twinkie and get off your butt kind. Didn't see a single commercial on it. Mostly tips about food prep, relaxation, quality time with your family and exercise. Stunned the heck out of me.

[Brigid]

82. Spank! indeed.

:rofl:

[riverdeep]

84. Well, I'm against the invasion of TV into all public spaces as a general principle,

regardless of what it's tuned to. I don't think I would have handled it like that, I probably would've sat there and observed, and then written a letter documenting my concern. If no response then brought it up before my next appointment and still no satisfactory response, i.e. turn it off or at least to a neutral channel, I would've cancelled and told them why. I don't think I would want someone loudly demanding that MSNBC gets turned off right now if that's what the office had on and that's what someone found offensive. I'm not equating MSNBC and FOX, one is a news organization, one is the propaganda arm of the RNC. But the place to hash it out shouldn't be at an office.

But really, I would love to see a dismantling of TVs in the public sphere. I think some of the owners even think they are doing us a favor by putting a nice distraction up there. It's amazing to watch how conditioned we all are to automatically put our eyes on the pretty pretty screen. They are everywhere (like something out of 1984) from the laundromat to the bank to the grocery store. I now wear in-ear phones with an mp3 player hooked in to be able to gain some control of my own environment. This way I don't have to listen and can just avert my eyes. I'm sure they'll ban those soon.

(I told the front desk person when I checked in that normally I use Hilton, but was boycotting because of their dropping ads from Letterman)

[NoSheep]

98. Why don't we just ignore the assholes who apologize for Fox ? (On this board)

Fuck them.

Edited to add: (on this board) Out in the world, smack them down and humiliate them in public wherever you can. They're responsible for much worse. Let them know they won't be tolerated any more than other clear examples of racism and bigotry.

124. Interesting how they don't put the TVs on health channels

Hmmmmm...

I truly don't understand why Fox is the go-to news station. CNN was first, so by default I would consider it to be the go-to news choice.

Oh well, me and my logic. ;)

130. Bwahahaha nice one :D I lost a customer the same way

When I was selling cars. A wife was waiting on her husband to come and look at the car she'd picked out, and was watching Fox in the waiting room. I told her that I could change it to the News if she liked. She asked me what I meant and I explained that Fox was entertainment at best and propaganda at worst. She looked at me with big eyes and then really really squinty angry eyes.

When I went back to check on her she was gone. :shrug:

140. They change it from one phony 'news' channel to another?

Just put it on the food network like everyone else does.
