Federal workers will be forced to watch Fox News when at work [View all]

Any tvs or monitors airing news stations, at least at one complex, will be locked to Fox News. My husband works for the fed govt and he said there are two tvs in the common area, one tuned to CNN and one to Fox. I told him - I bet that will change soon and both will be tuned to Fox News.

The channels cannot be changed.

“The reason for the change is that a decision from the current administration administrative officials has requested that all monitors, under our control, on the White Oak Campus, display Fox News.

“Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am unable to change any of the monitors to any other news source at this time.”
