How could a couple of million turnips watching TV like the drones from the original Apple 1984 TV commercial influence anything but Depends sales?

[femmocrat]

1. I don't remember where I heard this, but....

they count the captive viewers in airports, restaurants, etc. where Faux is piped in. And I think Faux pays those venues to broadcast its sh*t, or provides the monitors or something.

That's my rationalization and I'm sticking with it! LOL

[havocmom]

2. Heard that FOX pays some locations, pays for the cable in some, buys TVs for some

with the stipulation that the tuner be set to FOX, so yeah the numbers are grossly inflated.

Edited to add: And if someone would tell the WH about the arrangement FOX has with so many businesses, perhaps people in the administration would stop fearing FOX and have a more realistic view of FOX impact in the general population. There is a reason someone invented and sold a remote device that will shut FOX off on TVs. Most people are sick of listening to it, and have been for several years. Please let the Sec of Ag know.

[pstokely]

4. The McDonalds around here always have a TV tuned to Faux

Faux fans often tune TVs in public places like waiting rooms to Faux and leave it there after they leave, I usually tune the TV to something else it's on Faux if no one else is watching

[havocmom]

7. Had the car into the dealer for oil change, they tried to sell us new car

Told them I won't buy anything again from any place that makes me suffer through FOX news.

Next oil change.... no FOX. I am thinking I am not the only person who complained.

Let businesses know: No FOX or NO SALE! Sometimes, weary employees will tell you why the tv is always on FOX. Interesting to hear about the arrangements FOX makes to get 'viewers'.

[pstokely]

10. Dealers are overpriced for oil changes

What chains have Faux on their TVs?

[havocmom]

13. warranty stuff = go to dealer

Have seen fox on various lube/oil change places, hotels, bars, clinics, hell, anyplace with a tv

[Bobbieo]

5. The only time I ever saw Fox News was at my MD's office and I 've recently changed Drs.

My new MD is a golfing nut with a mini putting green, a huge seascape of Pebble beach, golf clubs and tees all over the waiting room and no TV!!!.

[Janice325]

3. Also, I believe more cable companies carry Fox with their basic

package, while not necessarily carrying MSNBC. At least, I think I seem to remember reading that somewhere way back when.....

I think you're correct, femmocrat, about Faux being piped in where they have captive viewers.

[havocmom]

14. Yep, And you can't get MSNBC on cable staying in many hotel chains

I like AmericInn because for a lower rate hotel, they have MSNBC and real quiet rooms.

[pstokely]

16. May depend on what Cable or Satelite provider the hotel has

The cheap hotels usually just have the basic channels of the town cable system

[AnArmyVeteran]

8. I've been successful in having Faux turned off in businesses

If I go anywhere and Faux is on their televisions I complain and say I will never return to their business again if they leave Faux on. I went by a bank in a mall and they had Faux on but I complained and they took it off and put it on a sports channel. Whenever I go by that bank they never have Faux on so my complaint worked.

I urge everyone to complain if they see Faux anywhere. No one should be subjected to the hate, racism, fear, lies and rage Faux spews out 24 hours a day. It's the same thing as telling a restaurant to put their garbage out back in the dumpster instead of in their dining area.

I also write commentary on receipts that I turn in so a business's management gets to read them.

[pstokely]

9. If they don't have Faux on, a Faux fan will demad then turn to Faux

[AnArmyVeteran]

17. But they will definitely lose the business of the great majority of NON-faux people

[havocmom]

15. Good plan

Make managements know FOX = less business.

[Bitwit1234]

18. And I heard this also. Add the other places where Fox is on parade

and the TV's are tuned to them and you can't change them. Doctor's offices and the like. I read this some time ago. They said if these were not added it Fox would not have this large an audience.

[mmonk]

6. Fox is a menace to Democracy (and a threat).

[pstokely]

11. Nickelodeon gets better ratings

nt

[DainBramaged]

12. I had a fight with the Post Office in my town last year over FAUX

I argued it was PROPAGANDA and not news, but with Cablevision, M$NBC is IO premium only, so they settled on CNN. Now, the TV is off. The counter person said it broke and there was NO money to fix it LOLOL.

[missheidi]

19. That's very disturbing...

and it's given me heartburn. Great.

[DainBramaged]

20. It disturbs me that so few have so much (perceived) power.

FAUX sucks.
