So I just left this review for a restaurant in town that has Fox playing all the time

"They play racist propaganda on their TV all day. That has no place anywhere, especially in a neighborhood diner. I'm sure pasty white people are welcomed here. Everyone else should be cautious."


EDIT: - I changed the review and removed the "Pasty" from pasty white people.

And as an aside, I am a white woman. I have referred to myself as a "pasty white lady" many times. Maybe it is just a self deprecating joke and I didn't realize other people might not read it that way.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Back before covid, when we used to eat out...

I would ask them to change it to ESPN and if they wouldn't, we would leave.

[Maraya1969]

2. I guess I'm just fresh out of fucks. I saw it and left and came home and wrote about it.

[luvtheGWN]

20. You called it a restaurant;

I'd call it a diner!

Back when we were allowed to cross the border into the US, it would drive me crazy not being able to find a classical music station on the car radio. It was all talk radio, C&W, gospel or hard rock. Even NPR was hard to find. We made sure to take our CDs with us!

You would never find a TV in a European restaurant, and here in the GWN, you'll usually only find TVs in sports bars. And our cable companies make you pay extra for Faux Noise, not part of the regular package (thank dog).

[Roy Rolling]

22. "Pasty White"

Fox News is Russian government-oligarch propaganda, their mission is to divide Americans along racial, political, and social lines.

Many “pasty white” people like me have spoken up at businesses, doctors’ offices, and banks where FoxNews spews misinformation.

I understand the outrage, but white people are not the enemy.

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. I totally take your point.

The trouble is, we look quite a lot like the enemy. Not our fault, of course, but I do take that into consideration. It should be made clear, however, that this point you make is valid, and the suspicion your appearance engenders is not at all unlike the exact social ill being fought - judging people immediately, based on nothing but their appearance.

[DownriverDem]

40. My concern

as a white American is that others might think I'm a crazy rightie trumper. I have asked before what should we do to let folks know I am a proud Democrat?

[BelieveCassandra]

51. There are not many Democrats where I live, so it is a concern for us, too

For those of us who carry a purse, we attach a Joe Button or a Beto Button to our purse strap.

[Master_Monstruwacan]

56. I don't take any chances.

I never want to be mistaken for a Republican (I live in deep Trump country), so I wear my "FUCK TRUMP" baseball cap everywhere I go.

[dchill]

61. There's your sign!

[Treefrog]

119. Psst. He's gone. Let him go.

[thucythucy]

124. But he's still dangerous

as long as he has a following.

Not to be hyperbolic, but the political consensus in 1923 was that Hitler was toast after his failed coup attempt.

As long as a third of Americans regard him as their savior, we face a risk to the essence of our democracy. And there are still his sociopathic grifting children to consider. The threat he and his ilk pose is far from over.

Luckily the man is both aged and dim-witted. In a very real sense his incompetence saved us from an even worse catastrophe. Of course, it was his incompetence that also led to the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Difficult for me or anyone who suffered under his regime to just "let him go."

[Treefrog]

125. Hitler was a helluva lot younger than the former occupant. He never even reached the former

occupant’s current age.

[thucythucy]

130. True, and we can be thankful Trump hit on politics as a scam

at such a late age.

Ivanka and Don Jr., on the other hand...

[Treefrog]

131. Personally I think Don Jr is way too stupid, and that gf of his is a real liability.

I fervently hope that the days of that family in our government are finished. I do think the horrid man is losing power quickly.

[thucythucy]

132. I agree, with the one caveat that stupidity

has never been a disqualifying character trait in American politics.

The fact that Dan Quayle was for four years only one heartbeat away from the presidency still brings chills to my spine.

[Treefrog]

134. Very very true. And we can never forget Palin!

We’ve got a bumper crop of new dumbasses in the House, aren’t we lucky?

[Aristus]

36. I knew what she meant.

I’m pasty white and I didn’t take offense.

[AZ8theist]

97. Same here...

[yellowdogintexas]

44. I have been noticing more and more that professional places no longer

play any news. They have switched to things like HGTV or Food Channel. The local doc-in-the box had Disney movies. We were in there one night for a bad chest cold (turned out to be bronchitis that was near pneumonia) and we watched The Little Mermaid.

[XanaDUer2]

67. as polarized as Americans are

they probably don't want to risk alienating any customers

[PortTack]

23. Same here. FYI: don't have one but there's a fun high tech device that will change the channel

Without touching the tv.

[Ferrets are Cool]

95. That would be fun

[RocRizzo55]

111. Oh it is fun

To see their face when all of a sudden MSNBC is on!
Very cheap things, these remotes. They can also turn the damn thing off!
Available at any of those cheap Chinese websales sites.

[marble falls]

3. That's fair. I'd want to know if Fox is on 24/7. The VA killed Fox at the Austin Clinic ...

... and at Temple VA hospital four years ago. Hasn't been any yelling or altercations since. Seriously, it really lightened the whole atmosphere.

[Maraya1969]

5. I went there a few months ago and it was playing. I still sat and ate. But lately

I just can't deal with any of it.

Plus I just read the information about how so much of this is Russian propaganda. I don't think any of it should be taken lightly.

[marble falls]

6. I don't take Fox lightly. No doubt: one way to avoid Russian influence is to avoid Fox.

[ProfessorGAC]

86. It's Blocked On Our Home TV

I put in a parental PIN. I didn't even look at the screen or remote. Just 8 random numbers. Excluded no TVs including the Stream app. Nobody can watch Faux at my house. Not even me because I have no idea what the pin is!

[Rorey]

110. I had to downgrade to Basic to get rid of it

It was included in every package of cable offered.

Many years ago I got to a point where I just couldn't stomach any FOXNews at all, and my husband was fine with it. Then he started spending more and more time with my brother, going on fishing trips to North Dakota where there are a LOT of rightwingers. He started watching FOXNews when I wasn't around, and then it started getting so bad that if I left the room for just a few minutes, I'd come back and find he had switched the channel to it.

We argued a lot about it, and then when Comcast raised their rates yet again, I told him that we just needed to get rid of cable altogether. I paid the bills, and it was in my name. When I went in to stop service, I was offered a package with the cable internet, which I intended to keep for business purposes, along with the most bare-bones television, for less than just cable. So of course I took it.

I was out and about doing things before my husband got out of bed the next morning. When I came home and walked in the door, he was sitting in his chair staring straight ahead, absolutely fuming. He couldn't even tell me what his effing problem was. I finally figured out it was because his precious propaganda television channel was gone.

We've been divorced for two years. I am happy and my life is peaceful.

[calimary]

45. I don't tolerate it either.

I’ve asked that the channel be changed, too, when the TV somewhere has Pox Noise on. Vigilance!

I don’t let it go. I sorta feel like I’m on a mission.

Maybe it’s because I spent more than 20 years in the news biz. And I and everyone so worked with at some really serious and respected news outlets was always incredibly conscious of always getting it right, making sure it was truthful. accurate, agenda-free, and as objective as possible. That detestable channel and its vile little wannabe clones have done more to foul the nest than almost any other entity or individual aside from trump or limbaugh. I feel rather personally affronted when I see how they’ve distorted and almost literally shat upon the facts, the reality, and THE TRUTH. They’ve done an EXTREME disservice to our country.

I just hope the damage isn’t irreparable.

[Treefrog]

78. You were eating indoors a few months ago? Tv would be the least of my worries at that point.

[Maraya1969]

82. I was very far away from anyone. It was very much empty. Plus I kept my mask

on until I actually ate and it was only a bowl of chili.

When I stopped in yesterday there were a lot of people there. It is very different now.

[Chainfire]

4. Just about as bad is a local Wendy's hamburger joint

That plays Christian Music around the clock.

It ain't good enough to just get your money for a greasy burger, they want your soul too.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

7. Reminds me of the time I was in Virginia for business

Me and a couple of colleagues went to this BBQ restaurant for lunch...we order/get our food, sit down, begin eating and chatting, next thing we know we hear the National Anthem and everyone standing up, I am thinking WTF....

[Action_Patrol]

17. Mission bbq

They all do it at noon every day. It’s so weird.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

27. Yep

That was the restaurant, food was good though...lol

[hatrack]

96. What?

Seriously,

[Blue_playwright]

106. It's a military vet owned and patriotic themed restaurant

I don’t personally like the anthem idea, but it’s a gimmick that likely works for them.

[Polybius]

120. Do they get pissed if someone doesn't stand?

I can't imagine getting up as soon as I start eating.

[marble falls]

9. I have just enough deafness and tintinus to mishear the lyrics. It's actualy interesting ...

... and totally ignorable until like at Christmas when I hear about "Long John Silver, mother and child" and I snort my soda out my nose. My wife sits a couple of tables over beet red.

[Person of Interest]

26. "Long John Silver, mother and child".

I like that. It should be a real song! 😄😃😀😂

[GoneOffShore]

10. If you're eating at Wendy's it's already too late. They've got your soul.

[tavernier]

35. Oh, I like their salads, which I take to the park

and eat there. I suppose you’re going to tell me that Wendy’s is a republican owned place and I’ll have to give up my pecan/apple/blue cheese/pomegranate dressing salad.

[HUAJIAO]

37. That is the only thing I EVER get at Wendy's, the few times/year I go there for lunch....

[tavernier]

39. Wish I could find that dressing at the store.

So good!

[csziggy]

63. According to the interenet, Wendy's uses Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressings

Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Salad Dressings

Salads as good as ours deserve a superior dressing, which is why Wendy’s has worked exclusively with Marzetti since the late 1980s. Our Culinary Innovation team partnered with Marzetti to bring our customers Marzetti Simply Dressed salad dressings which are made without preservatives, trans fat, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial flavors. Just the good stuff.

https://www.wendys.com/nutrition-and-health

I love Marzetti's coleslaw dressing, but I found a recipe online that is very similar so I mostly make my own. Though it is easier to buy a bag of shredded cabbage (with some carrots and other stuff) and a bottle of Marzetti's since I am the only one in the house that likes coleslaw. Can just pour out a bowl of the cabbage, spoon out some dressing and I am good for lunch.

[tavernier]

69. I've googled already and pomegranate is only online

And very expensive. I think Wendy’s wants you to get that particular salad only at their restaurant.

[csziggy]

71. There are recipes for Pomegranate Vinaigrette online

That are very easy if you can find pomegranate juice. I've never looked for it so I have no idea how available it is.

Now I'm starting to think I have been missing something by not going to Wendy's for years. I used to drive through to get a small bacon cheeseburger about three times a year when I needed a hamburger fix, but haven't done that in a very long time, well before Covid-19. Never had a salad at a Wendy's since I only went for the burgers.

[tavernier]

85. Clue: Order the half portion.

Half the price and the full portion is just a big extra bunch of greenery. And I get it with the fried chicken instead of the broiled.
And I should apologize for hijacking the thread. Food is my Achilles heel.

[csziggy]

90. I mostly eat at home and make everything

We have a big salad every day with dinner and I often make my own dressings - exception is the Ken's Steakhouse Raspberry Walnut vinaigrette. I haven't managed to make anything as good - but I may try the Mazetti version which I saw.

If we go out for lunch, we usually go for something like the Cuban sandwich at the local Cuban Grill or the Cabo BLT at a little locally owned cafe (BLT with avocado and their garlic aiolo). We don't often go to chains except when we are traveling and in a hurry.

[tavernier]

91. I'm a baked potato fan

so once in a while I’ll pig out on that with the cheese and broccoli. And their chili doesn’t suck either.

[csziggy]

93. I guess if I were working and needed a good lunch, those wouldn't be too bad

But it's been forty five years since I have worked anywhere but here on my farm, and I don't even do that anymore. Being retired has advantages. Plus, we're too far out for it to be convenient. When we first moved here, it was at least twelve miles to anything. Now, there are fast food places only five miles away - still not convenient.

[Crunchy Frog]

135. I like their taco salads and the fish sandwiches they sell during Lent.

I'll order from them once I'm vaccinated. (Too paranoid right now.)

[GoneOffShore]

59. Not at all - We all have things that we like.

I mean that fast food is gastronomic crack.

[oldsoftie]

77. No, thats Chik Fil A!

[Joinfortmill]

104. Lol

[Mike 03]

8. ...

[Treefrog]

11. I obviously need to get out more. I don't think I've eaten in a regular sit-down restaurant that has

a television on all the time. I wouldn’t care what channel they were playing, that would not be a place I’d want to eat. Of course, I’ve not been into a sit-down restaurant since the pandemic started.

[Dream Girl]

13. I dislike restaurants with tee vees playin'

So tacky

[paleotn]

15. Agreed.

[Chainfire]

19. The same places tend to have everybody trying to over-talk the crowd

and it produces waves of roar that I find hard to tolerate. It is like living with cicadas, they will go almost quite for a few seconds then come back with a cacophony of noise. There are several chains that have food that I like, but I can't stand all of the noise. TVs seem to exacerbate the problem.

The only worse thing to listen to is the leisure suit "businessman" who handles his long-winded transactions over his cell phone at a voice level meant to impress the entire crowd with his importance. One day I am going to tell one of them, at a similar volume, that "I don't give a shit whether you sell that house on 7th Ave. or not, shut up and let me, and everyone else here, eat in peace, asshole."

Allow me my fantasies.....

[frazzled]

24. No, the only thing worse

and I really hate to say this, because I am feminist AF, is sitting at a table next to six or eight young women out together after work for some wine and gossip—or heaven forfend—a bachelorette dinner. I appreciate that they’re having a great time letting loose, and they deserve that, but their voices and laughter just get soooooooo loud!

[lildDemz]

33. I have watched the same

in a group of male athletes(basketball and cycling). Locker room decibles that rose like a competition.

[bedazzled]

43. my funny story re that... was working as a cashier

some clown was rangeing all over the rather small store, talking loudly into a cellphone...

as he heads towards the door, the last thing we heard him say was "I TOLD YOU i was not getting a vasectomy!"

the other customers and i burst out laughing

probably better for the gene pool id he got a vasectomy!

[The Wizard]

107. I like it when

They have on a talk show with no sound.

[ShazzieB]

73. Me, too, unless it's a sports themed place and the tvs are playing various sports.

I'm not a big sports fan, but I actually kind of like those for some reason.

[Dream Girl]

76. I'll make an exception for a bar particularly if there's a "big" game.

At least there’s a reason for it.

[Polybius]

121. Don't they all have TV's?

At least the ones I have been to all have them.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

12. When I workout at the YMCA

I notice that most people have their treadmill/bike TVs turned on to Fox...and I am thinking to myself “you are so obsessed with hate and propaganda that you want it during your workout,too”

[diverdownjt]

25. They feed off of it....

It's like a nutrient slush they just can't get enough of.

[MurrayDelph]

48. Can you think of something else

likely to get your heart rate up quickly?

[blueinredohio]

14. Its been awhile ago but I went into a Mexican restaurant

in our small very red town. When we left I thanked them for NOT having Fox on their t.v.

[yellowdogintexas]

46. if TV is on and not on FOX I always thank them. Funny story about TV in eateries

We were driving to Phoenix and stopped for breakfast at a Denny's. It had a huge dining room with a tv near the cashier and another one way back in the corner at the far end. Bunch of men sitting around back there. The front TV was not FOX so I thanked the cashier. He just grinned and pointed to the back of the room "see that bunch of men over by the other TV; they come in every morning for breakfast and then sit around drinking coffee and watching Fox. Sometimes I mess with them and change the channel to MSNBC or CNN and it drives them nuts. " We loved it!!!

PS that was the nicest Denny's I have ever seen; I like a good breakfast when I am traveling and our hotel did not have hot breakfast. It is somewhere between Fort Worth and El Paso.

[Delarage]

126. I used to really like Denny's

I love Diner-type places---especially the ones along Rt. 40 in New Jersey. But the last Denny's near me hadn't been updated since about 1980 and was a dark, depressing place that finally closed down not too long ago. And I had a free birthday breakfast coming to me

[JohnnyRingo]

16. Got you beat for Trump diners.

We have a place here in NE Ohio called Top Notch Diner that is owned by a republican. I first discovered that when we called to ask for a couple booths to have a group meeting for John Kerry phone banking and grab some food. He said he didn't want us there, so we met at Panera Bread who afforded us plenty of room to spend our money.

Since Trump he's gone overboard, like so many, and erected signs and Trump flags throughout the property. He says he does this for everyone including democrats. Now there's just one giant Trump flag and an upside down American flag flying out front. Masks are discouraged, even after the death of one server.

I'm not going in to see what's on TV, but i understand this hangs by the register:
[img][/img]

Read about him here:
https://www.wfmj.com/story/42811345/top-notch-diner-owner-claims-taking-the-stand-for-all-of-us-over-mask-mandate

[appleannie1]

32. NW Pa, not too far from you.

The only restaurant in the tiny town I live near has been shut down a couple times for non compliance and I refuse to buy anything in the local meat market for the very same reason. It is like almost everyone in this area has a death wish or something.

[ShazzieB]

80. Looking at that image and scratching my head

because it looks absolutely NOTHING like Chump!

Well, okay, the hair is somewhat Chumpesque, but the facial features aren't even close. It's like they took a generic, handsome, white man face and stuck a Chump wig on top of it!

If that's what he really looks like to his cultists, they're even sicker than I thought.

[Delarage]

127. I like diners

But....there is one in NJ that I used to frequent on trips over the bridge and I once went in there and they were having some kind of gathering for a Republican candidate, with signs and stuff stuck all over the place. So I left and haven't been back to that one since. And that sucks, because they had some really good food.

[JohnnyRingo]

129. Yeah, but that might have just been a group who met there...

...to discuss plans for the campaign. It could be that the owner's political leaning is the Hungry People's Money Party. I never understood why any business would take a side and lose half the customers, and I never understood why that diner refused us accommodations back in '08. It should have been: "Come on in, I've got you set up in the back, and here are some menus", with the same line for republicans.

My oldest son, his wife, and two of his kids are as democrat as they get, even posting anti Trump memes and helping GOTV. He owns a biker bar near here, but does he argue with customers or throw them out for being republicans? He just nods his head at their bullshit and gets them another Bud, just as cold as the democrat's.

[Delarage]

133. I agree

I did say something to the owner, who sits at the register near the door, and whatever he said didn't reassure me. I would have liked an "all are welcome" or something ambiguous. But it wasn't like he had a MAGA hat on, either. I guess it was just the stuff posted all over the windows that made me wonder. Hmmmmm......

But I hope you're right....I want to go back. And I doubt EVERYONE working there is Repuke, although it is in S. Jersey. The omelettes are calling me.......

[frazzled]

18. I just never go to restaurants with TVs

If we go out to eat—well, when we did in the Before Times—I don’t want a television blaring or even flashing its lights and colors on a screen, no matter what it’s playing. The whole point of going out to me is getting out of the kitchen, away from TVs and devices, and to have a quiet, peaceful meal that I didn’t have to cook or clean up after, and to have some real conversation, without staring elsewhere at a screen while eating. .

OK, exception: once a year or so we liked to go to this Spanish restaurant for tapas, and we always sat at the bar and ordered a few small dishes and a glass of wine. They had a screen that was playing Spanish stuff. Very colorful, and I don’t think they even had the sound on. That was the small price to pay for some delicious jamon and octopus.

[Treefrog]

21. I so agree with you. If anyone of our family had taken my mother to a restaurant with a tv blaring,

I know she’d have refused to eat there and given us a piece of her mind as well lol. She’s no longer with us, but she even refused to have a tv in the living room. It was banned to an upstairs family room. It seems self-defeating to go out to eat and have to listen to ANY channel. Very tacky as someone else in the thread commented.

[Major Nikon]

29. I don't even have the TV going while having a family dinner at home

We also have a standing rule forbidding mobile devices at the table.

[appleannie1]

28. My daughter is a travel nurse. She thinks FOX should be banned from all hospitals.

This past year she has treated COVID patients mainly since she is ICU trained and that is where the need was. She has treated patients that declared that COVID is a hoax dreamed up by the 'libruls' and media to make trump look bad as she was trying to hook them up to a ventilator.

[tavernier]

30. My friend was in a coma in ICU

His son came in and noticed that the TV set in his room was on Fox. He stormed out to the nurses station and said, “My father had a heart attack and someone has put on Fox News in his room. He is in a coma and can’t change the channel. Are you trying to kill him?”

[niyad]

41. Years ago, a dear friend was in ICU, also in a coma. The second morning I went in, that garbage s

was on. A nurse happened to be in the room. I looked at her and said, "if anything would bring my friend out of the coma, this would be it. Now please change it." After that, it was strictly the gardening channel (my friend had been a master gardener.). I still miss her, and smile as I watch flowers coming up.

[Martin68]

34. Great message, but the "pasty white people" jibe kind of devalues the point IMHO.

[Maraya1969]

64. I always refer to myself as a "Pasty white lady" so there's that.

[Martin68]

88. LOL!

[Mary in S. Carolina]

38. Things are Changing - Deep Red State

Everywhere I went, restaurants, banks, gas stations, etc were always blaring Faux News.....not anymore. Democrats are becoming very vocal in this deep red state and taking there business down the road, after complaining to Faux News loving business owners.

[UpInArms]

42. I might have used a few different words ...

"They play racist propaganda on their TV all day. That has no place anywhere, especially in a neighborhood diner. I'm sure rightwing nutjobs are welcomed here. Everyone else should be cautious."

Otherwise, I approve

[OMGWTF]

47. During Bush II's Reign of Terror, I was staying at a very nice hotel in Orange County, CA

The TV in our room was programmed to automatically revert to Fux News no matter what channel you left it on. Of course, there was Fux News on the TV in the breakfast room which made me lose my appetite. I write a lot of reviews for Trip Advisor and ripped the hotel a new one for this assault on my senses.

I remember reading a story about how Cheney The Dick insisted that every TV in his hotel rooms be turned to Fux News.

[MurrayDelph]

53. I have had words with hotels

where the cable includes Fox but not MSNBC.

[captain queeg]

57. That drives me crazy. 99% of breakfast bars in hotels have Fox blaring

I was pleasantly surprised when staying in Charlotte NC they had CNN on. It was unusual enough for me to take note. Very red area, but most all the hotel workers were POC.

[djacq]

49. Two Diners in my VA-05 Town on my Sh_t List.

Trump Country Fox Loving Sycophants.

[oldsoftie]

50. "pasty white people". Yeah, i'm sure that'll make them change.

Insult everyone who's white and doesnt have a nice glowing tan.

[Maraya1969]

66. I am pasty white! it's just an expression but it you all think it insults white people...

Maybe I'll just change it to "white"

[oldsoftie]

75. Due to vitiligo, me too. Although it seems to be changing & not sure why

But i've always said if thats the only disease i ever have to deal with, i'll take it!

[twodogsbarking]

52. Y'all need to whiten up about the pasty white remark.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

54. I remember traveling from Florida to Texas and stopping at a Residence Inn in Mississippi

We had three TVs in the 2 bedroom hotel suite...so I turn on the tv in the living room area and noticed it was on Fox...no big deal, I just figured the person who stayed there before me was a right winger...I turn the channel to something (don’t even remember)....later on I turn off that TV and go into my bedroom, I turn on the tv and again it’s on Fox, but again I think no big deal the person was obviously a MAGA type.....time goes by and I go back into the living and turn on the TV and it’s back on Fox and I know that wasn’t the last channel that I viewed because I don’t view that channel...so I know something is up, I go back to the bedroom and turn on the TV and yep it’s on Fox, I then go into the room where my girls are staying and they have it on Disney, I turn the tv off and then back on and it was on Fox....so the hotel deliberately took the time to program their TVs to Fox when it is powered on...I wrote them a similar review

[Maraya1969]

68. Wow! I never heard of such a thing. I'm so glad you wrote a review. Talk about

Russian propaganda tactics.

[Ilsa]

55. Doctors offices tend to play HGTV all day.

Anything like Dr. Phil, news, or even a soap opera could trigger anxiety from trauma in some people.

[Staph]

70. At my oncologist's office,

The TV is usually tuned to the Food Network. Anything that tempts you to eat when on chemo is a great idea!

[AllaN01Bear]

58. get one of these , tv b gone . a friend has the phone app and it goes through walls.

122. How would you feel if someone did that to your tv?

Sorry, I don’t think that is in the least cool.

60. Tried to do it for the only BBQ place here but was not allowed to talk about "politics".

So my review was not accepted.

[patricia92243]

62. I'm pasty white and do not want to listen to Fox. My color has nothing to do with it.

[Duppers]

72. Do know of any black folks who'd listen to Fux?

Pasty white redhead here yet I'm not at all offended by the description because it's accurate. 😁

Back in the little pasty-white southern redneck town I grew up in, Fux Lies channel is on EVERYWHERE. And if you're not white, you're not welcome. I despise those ppl.

Their necks turn red because they are so pasty-white.

[madville]

112. Around 8-10% of black people voted for Trump

So I imagine some of them watch FOX regularly.

[Duppers]

113. Unbelievable....

But I believe you. Thanks!



Me: Officer, I'd like to report a feather.
Officer: Ma'am, what could a feather do?
Me: Well, it knocked me over.

[Hortensis]

65. Sorry, but agree your review could be interpreted as racist.

I confess, it's hard not to.

Since racism is a problem for all people and hurts all, how about just reporting that racist programming is played all day and leave it at that?

If you must divide by race, maybe at least avoid insulting, hostile adjectives directed at any of them.

[Treefrog]

79. Thank you for this response.

[Maraya1969]

83. I fixed it. and edited the OP Thanks.

[Hortensis]

92. :)

74. My Dad who was olive competition to refer to it as

fish belly white. Non of us kids got as dark as Dad, Mom's skin color must have dominated, but we weren't fish belly white.

[iemanja]

81. You trigged some white fragility

Which is a key component in the maintenance of white supremacy.

[Maraya1969]

84. This whole thread is making my head spin. What you said makes sense.

[TeslaNova]

87. LOL I did the same thing to a hydroponics store

Back when we were trying to get legal pot on the ballot I went into a hydro store and the owner behind the counter had FOX News on the TV. Couldn't believe it because Republicans were fighting legal pot tooth and nail and this guys business stood to boom if it did become legal. So I went home and left a review on Yelp about how he had FOX News going and would never go in there again. We legalized pot and for whatever reason he went out of business.

[egduj]

89. How was the food?

[Beartracks]

94. Good on you for taking out "pasty." And for posting that review!

[barbtries]

98. at a hotel in Phoenix,

i asked the clerk to change it and he told me he wasn't allowed. So I immediately tagged the place in a fb post explaining why i would not be staying there again. 15 minutes later it had been switched to CNN.

If you're on social media, you can go to their instagram, fb, twitter, and anywhere else you may post, it might help.

[Maraya1969]

105. Once I had these guys with a small landscaping company cut a big tree down for me

and put some bushes in and I paid them and they left all the yard waste in a way that the city wouldn't pick it up, (it had to be tied in certain lengths). I contacted the guy about 3 times and got, "Oh we'll come get it" bullshit each time then then I took to social media. I just spelled out what he did on Yelp and FB and Google. Then I texted him that I would take the reviews down after he picked up the waste. It was gone the next day.

Yes social media can be used in great ways in our world now.

[CTyankee]

99. I call myself a "little old lady" sometimes. I get a kick out of it...

[hunter]

100. I rarely see that in my community

A business that did that would be a business screaming "I want to die, kill me now."

I live in a land where a multi-lingual dark skinned transgender checkout clerk is 100% more likely to be hired than some monolingual English Only pasty white racist guy.

It's just business. Most of the customers are not pasty white, and 40% are not entirely fluent in English.

The Republican nightmare...

[Lord Ludd]

101. How 'bout 'lily-white people'

Or is that a no-no in 2021?

[Evolve Dammit]

103. Businesses gotta know that some things are annoying or offensive. Good for you! nt

[ailsagirl]

108. 👍👍👍

[cstanleytech]

109. I would not have left a negative for that reason. I might not return but a negative should only be

used for poor service or food but not because if their piss poor choice to have Fox on.

[Treefrog]

123. Never mind the fact that the op went back TWICE DURING A PANDEMIC to eat at a place she intended

to slam online. I have chosen to take Fauci’s and the other scientists’ advice on eating inside restaurants.

[twodogsbarking]

114. Until the Trump virus

we went to a place every couple of months that had the hunting channel playing.
Get to see killing food while you are eating food. Best wings and fries you can imagine.
Been going for years. Jimmy Carter would eat there on fishing trips.

[Mary Mac]

115. Just say Caucasian

[Rustyeye77]

116. Do you live in the South?

Very common down there.

[Polybius]

117. My local restaurant has it on all the time too

I live in a Republican town though, so I get it. Also, the owner seems like an apolitical guy, who probably just thinks he's putting on the news. Finally, Trumpers hate Fox now anyway.

[Maxheader]

118. Am radio around here is nothin but rad right bs...

Pretty disgusting...

[AllaN01Bear]
