I couldn't take it any longer

[RainCaster]

I'm stuck in a hotel this morning and the TV in the restaurant was on Faux Snooze. I grabbed the clicker and turned it off. It was non stop bullshit about how the Dems are causing the shut down. Pure lies.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. Need universal clickers like that

Good job!

[LT Barclay]

14. Someone was selling them during the Bush administration. They also mentioned a trick for hotel rooms:

The TVs usually don’t have a password set, so go to the settings, add a password and then block Fox. I remembered that once and it worked

[bucolic_frolic]

16. A real stealth operator! /nt

[ECL213]

34. I'm going to have to do that the next time I'm at the in-laws.

35. There are several apps that will allow you to use your phone as a TV remote.

Then, all you need to do is go look at the offending television for its make and model, and then you have some fun.

Screw bring forced to watch something that has no use where you are. Faux News is not even a news program, by their own admission.

Maybe we need to start hammering that fact whenever such things happen.

"So, you are watching this kids show, but I would like to watch the news please?"

[pandr32]

18. Wish we could find a clicker that fact checks.

We need Fox watchers to hear truth, that the Republican-led congress is avoiding swearing in an elected rep to avoid having enough demand to release the Epstein files (why?), and that they control all branches of government so how can the Democrats be at fault of a shut-down? Oh, and also that undocumented people would not be able to receive Federal healthcare benefits. All important current examples of truth Fox watchers need to hear watching Fox.
Fox needs to be reformed.

22. TV be gone!

2. what a shock....just being Faux News

24/7....ANYONE with any critical thinking skills knows it's BS. Polls are coming out in favor of Dems as we speak. Keep the faith!!!!

[Clouds Passing]

3. I always ask places to turn off Faux

[SheltieLover]

4. I do too, Clouds.

I always ask them to turn on MSNBC. Or sports.

[Clouds Passing]

6. Or reruns of I Love Lucy

[SheltieLover]

8. Yes! Cartoon Network or TCM are options too!

[niyad]

10. Golden Girls, HGTV, a gardening channel, even Hallmark, are better options.

[SheltieLover]

11. Yes! Anything is better than Faux scum!

[Clouds Passing]

25. Golden Girls, All In The Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son.......

[Seinan Sensei]

26. Break room is empty about half the time

If it’s on Fox when I walk in.
Then it’s on History Channel or Food Network when I walk out

[Clouds Passing]

27. We should all turn it to 24/7 episodes of South Park

[lastlib]

20. Awhile back, I was in a fast-food joint that had Faux on....

I asked if they could change it to CNN. The harried cashier just handed me the remote, and basically said go for it, so I did. I not only changed it to MSNBC, but also set the parental controls and LOCKED Faux channels out. So unless they guessed the lock code, they couldn't ever put Faux back on. Returned the remote and walked out with a big smile on my face.

[Deuxcents]

28. good trouble. I love it 📎

[Danascot]

31. This works

As lastlib says, if you can get the remote, you can block Fox. Google if you need more detail but it isn't difficult. Do future viewers a favor and block Fox!

[Attilatheblond]

33. The guys where I get oil change and tune up actually THANK me when I ask them to change the station from FOX

I was like: fellas, YOU can always change the station. If the boss questions it, tell them a customer requested it.

[Chasstev365]

5. Goebellsvision is what destroyed this country

[usonian]

7. Did you take the clicker home with you?

Asking for a friend.

PS if you're the ultra honest type, did you leave a twenty behind?



I'll post a composite later rather than use a crappy AI image. IF I CAN FIND A TWENTY!

"Just in case", I'll be rehearsing my Howard Beale imitation.



And congrats on being the hero of the day!

[calimary]

9. I hope you complained.

Management needs to know some of its customers don’t support that shit.

[KS Toronado]

12. Local cafe always has FQX on all 4 TVs

and the volume loud enough for everybody to hear. I'd listen until I heard a whopper that was easy
to disprove and start laughing out loud as loud as I could and then asked people sitting close
to me questions like "Can you believe all these lies?"

[Tribetime]

13. We need every democrat all the time to attack fox news

As long as fox news is around this country is going to be shit

[Grumpy Old Guy]

15. Hampton Inn.

I stayed at a Hampton Inn two weeks ago that had Faux News running in the breakfast area. When they contacted me for comments I reminded them of the $787 million settlement. I told them it was the last Hampton Inn I was going to be staying at.

[madinmaryland]

29. That's odd. I've stayed at around 50 different ones in the east and mid Atlantic

In the last five years and never seen the TV turned to faux news. Most of the time it’s on the local broadcast channels on their morning show. A few times it was CNN

[Grumpy Old Guy]

30. I'm sure it was the local managers or staff.

This was in an older suburb of Philadelphia. It may have been the desk clerk who did it for all I know. I just wanted to let them know I thought it was horseshit!

[Warpy]

17. A lot of places here in big city NM have learned their lesson

and my last foray to Jiffy Lube was made pleasanter by the Science Channel on the tube. I guess a lot of people were using their clickers on propaganda.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. I've Suggested The Food Network

Multiple times.
It's particularly appropriate for a place serving food, but works at any business.
There's never anything controversial. Just cooking.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. if i were traveling and had to endure one more minute of that id get myself a tv bgone .

https://www.amazon.com/TV-B-Gone-Universal-TV-Control-Keychain/dp/B0006GD9CE?th=1

i ran into these when ppl on a blog called democratic underground were complaining about this very thing. they even turn of jumbo trons

[twodogsbarking]

21. There's more than one way to overthrow the government.

[maxsolomon]

23. No one should take it any longer.

Complain vociferously.

[mike_c]

24. that's just about the only circumstance in which I see TV

I hate the squawking box so much that I haven't owned one in 30+ years. The only places I can't avoid the damned things are in restaurants and similar businesses that keep them on all the time. I need a TV-B-Gone for those situations. Turn that noise off!
