and the doctors' offices have had the faux network on. I go out into the hall and inform my relatives I'm not sitting and listening to this BS. Twice, I've loudly told my MIL and aunt that "you would think that a doctors office wouldn't be playing this shite when people have high blood pressure, heart conditions. And, noticed that the two offices where I've made the comment have changed their channels to the travel channel. It's funny, both changed their channels to the travel channel. At least, the travel channel keeps people from getting their blood pressure up over lying shite that faux spews.
