I told the Human Resources department today that I was offended by their choice of news station
And I was not alone.
They have been running FAUX news in the cafeteria for the last 2 days on the overhead projector in the cafeteria. I called HR and told them that that pornographic television station was not appropriate in the work place. I said if they wanted to air the news on the tragic events from Monday the least they could do was select a NEWS network.

I said I didn't know who selected FOX for viewing but they had a poor judge of character.

I actually did know who made the selection, it was my pet republicon.

6. The took my complaint and would see what they could do
I knew the HR department didn't make the selection but it was the best route as going to the one who made the choice would be a worthless exercise in beating my head against the stupid wall

7. Don't we all have pet republicons?
Those morons who no matter how stupid the actions of the bu$h regime, they support them fully. And it just too much fun to poke them with little truths about the regime and the whole of the republicon party? If I get bored, I will send this guy a few emails and watch the fireworks. It is worth a laugh or two. I usually copy a few friends so they can enjoy the responses as well and this idiot has no clue what I am doing to him.

3. My cafeteria was fair and balanced.
They had Fox and CNN on. :-)

That's like saying we have both kinds of music here, country AND western. :-)

4. You need to get a few others to complain as well.
I was at my local military base exchange and commissary a few weeks back, and they had the TVs turned off. They used to run FAUX but no longer. Heh heh....works for me.

8.  while back Murdoch was "paying for" the tvs, as long as
they were tuned to Fox.. Kind of like how Coke or Pepsi "adopts" a school, as long as only their products are for sale within..:grr:

9. A similar thing happened where I work
Only it was someone complaining that our screens air CNN Headline News in the cafeteria. Someone asked why they don't show some other news station "such as Fox 'News'"!! The answer was that the CNN feed is free to our organization, while other news channels charge for their feed.

This sent a chill down my spine. I realized that if Fux Snooze offered its feed free, we might be subjected to the slime in the lunch line.
