We're exporting our Fox nuts. Sorry, Canada

TOP: GUEST DISCOVERS HOTEL DOES NOT HAVE FOX NEWS

BOTTOM: ACCUSES STAFF AND MANAGEMENT OF BEING “LEFT WING RADICALS” AND THREATENS TO CHECK OUT.

This actually just happened at the hotel I work at. The guest called from his room furious that we didn’t have Fox News (we are in Canada by the way so it doesn’t just come with the basic cable package that the hotel likely subscribes to). He then stormed down to the front desk threatening to leave and saying he was going to talk to management for being politically biased and “left wing radicals” for not having Fox News and being “against right wings”.

I wish I was making this up.

with them.

3. The poor guy cant function unless they tell him what to think

4. Telus has it on 103

But I don't think it's part of the standard package

12. Telus does

but when I had Bell it didn't. At least Telus doesn't have Sun news. Shaw has Fox and Sun.

5. He was afraid he would miss his daily fix of Hannity Insanity

Or Bill O'Lielly.

People like that should just stay home.

6. Canada has law you cant purposely lie on TV news.

WHich is why Fox cant be carried there. The PM tried to have that law dropped so Fox could come north but he was unsuccessful.

Thats the story I heard anyway. I'm not from Canada.

13. It's here now

Some cable carriers have it. Not all. It's part of the 'news' package, meaning it's with CNN, MSNBC, AlJazeera, all the business channels and the 24 hour Canadian news channels. Most basic packages carry the 'news' package, so if you have a package that has the news channels in it, you can't escape Fox.

What's funny is I'm surrounded by Conservatives and I don't know a single person who ever watches Fox, unless it's for a good laugh.

14. The law applies only to Broadcast news, Cable is another matter.

7. Fox Fans are becoming cultists

they're not just ignorant - they are unhinged

8. A junkie without a fix

After depriving him of Fox News for a week I'd like to strap him down and prop open his eyelids like Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange and have him watch the Ed Show & Rachel Maddow.

[MrScorpio]

9. Just make sure that the music playing in the background is "All My Exes Live in Texas"

That's your basic Fox nut's equivalent of Ludwig Von's Ninth, you know?

[Martin Eden]

10. Nah, I'd have him listen to Ed & Rachel while pumping him full of a euphoric drug

If I wanted to implant a psychosomatic reaction making him feel deathly ill, I'd give him the drug from Clockwork Orange while watching Fox News and listening to Limbaugh & Beck.

That's kinda how most sane people feel anyway.

11. Should have told him that Obama issued a Federal Regulation today that removed Fox News

from the airways.

[Ganja Ninja]

16. Should have told him that people that watch FOX in Canada are considered mentally unstable. n/t

15. I'm against "right wings" too.

Whenever I order a platter of hot wings I always specifically ask for left wings only.
