How common is FOX News on TVs at businesses in your area?? [View all]

Inspired by this DU Thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024078587

I would appreciate it if you'd give this a moment's thought and respond. Think about your day. You go to gas station/C-stores, train stations, fast food joints, work, the cleaners, the sports bar. You stay at hotels and have breakfast in a breakfast room. How common is it for there to be a TV playing FOX News??

Note: I'm not asking whether you turn around and leave the room; I'm not asking if you boycott these places forevermore; and I'm not asking anyone to apologize for doing business with anyone engaging in this practice.

Note also that FX, FOX Movie Channel, FOX TV network, FOX Business, and any of the FOX Sports franchises DO NOT COUNT for this purpose. However, if you go to sports bar, and they have FOX News playing on one of their 60 TVs -- DO COUNT THAT!
