21. Yes, I've complained in airports several times.

Usually the response has been "Yeah, we hate it too!"

Now I see this bullshit less often in airports, it seems to me. Don't know if those two are connected. Could be, though.

Seems like they've toned it down to CNN in a lot of airports. Which is almost as bad, but lately I'm too exhausted to complain. Should do, though. I think I will do, next time.

I do feel that someone somewhere must be paying someone to pipe this crap into the huge captive audience in airports. Plus I suspect that's how faux snooze pumps up their suspicious viewership numbers (which are falling anyway, I believe).
