(5,005 posts)There is no 'God-given right for Foxwatchers to have it on everywhere at all times', to use your words. And guess what? It's not on everywhere at all times.
But the owner of the business or property most certainly does have the right to broadcast it, 24/7 and at high volume. If you don't like it, there are NUMEROUS extremely effective actions you can take short of vandalizing the TV to avoid exposure.
You don't have to listen to it, but the onus is on YOU to avoid it, not on HIM to stop broadcasting it. You can boycott the business, leave the room, plugin your iPod, but if the owner wants to watch Fox News, it's his or her right.
The OP could have simply changed the channel, but she decided that NOBODY gets to listen to Fox on her watch, by God, and disabled the channel.
