244. I most certainly have no objections to your conduct.

If you see something on the T.V. that you do not like, you REQUEST that they change the channel. If they refuse, you take your business elsewhere. Freedom and democracy in action!

Your conduct is legal, civil and mature. Why would I offer any objection?

However, your actions are most definitely not similar to the OP. She did not request anything. She then not only changed the channel on her employers television, what would be a incredibly minor action, but then instituted a password and stole or hid her employer's remote so that they could never choose to watch a channel simple because she objected to it. I doubt many here at DU would ever find that acceptable is the channel was not Fox.

Most importantly, you appear to have read my comments as some defense of Fox. That is not correct. My values of freedom of speech and choice (and the law itself) far transcend my dislike of Fox or anything else I may find offensive.

If my liberal values had an exception for Fox, they would NOT be liberal values.
