Went into a newly remodeled Burger King the other day

[kacekwl]

and playing on the big flag screen was Newsmax tv. Is this a BK policy of just a franchise choice ?

1. burger kings are franchises.

so its likely a local franchisee decision.

2. Yikes, I was giving a neighbor's daughter a ride to work

in the summer, there was a TV that played weather and clips of employees speaking, I was there often, I would have noticed pro Trump content. I guess it could be a new policy, if it is I hope it backfires.

3. Were they willing to change it?

If the owner won't allow employees, or customers, to change to something besides propaganda, they don't deserve our business.

7. Actually I just went

in to use the restroom.

4. I've never seen that in any other BK location, I'm guessing it's a franchise choice. Complain to

Management, PLEASE.

5. I haven't been to a BK since they fled to Canada in order to pay less taxes.

America made the board of BK very wealthy, but that wasn’t enough. Screw them.

6. franchise

and if you drop an email to the marketing dept at BK, I can almost guarantee you it will never be on Newsmax again.

10. Doubtful

We have about half a dozen McDonald's in our area. The one has Faux on all the time since its renovation. I have said something to the manager twice and it is still on all the time. I told them I won't go there again if they do, you can see the screen if you drive around it and I do that and just drive off.

I had my fill of McDees a long time ago, but the girls ask for it.

They know they deal.

11. you're talking to the wrong person

In McDonald's there is an operations manager who is in charge of the franchisees in a given area. I would contact both that ops manager (name available from McDonald's regional office) and say how offended you are that they push the politics of hate, etc., through Fox.

McDonald's national headquarters, which is in Chicago, should be copied. They would definitely say something to that franchisee if they thought customers were offended.

I used to be in marketing communication for them in the NY area; that is how I know this. They are very sensitive to this type of thing.

14. Ok

Worth a try ...

8. If you're not gonna do anything about it

can you please let us know the franchise so someone else can say something?

12. I don't even know what Newsmax tv is.

But I never eat fast food, so no idea.

15. Every BK around here has Fox

I will say though that there is hardly a restaurant or food court or bar around here that doesn’t have at least 1 TV set to Fox News at all times.
