14. Take away all those tv's at various businesses serving the public that are tuned into Fixed News

& I wonder how much more FN's ratings would fall. I suspect that these businesses are given something by Fixed News in return for keeping their tv's tuned in to their crap. Perhaps FN pays their monthly cable bills, is my guess.

While at my husband's doctor's office a few months ago, we were the only people sitting in the waiting room. I turned the tv channel from Fixed News & the nurse who had been standing behind the glass partition came through the door in a huff, seemingly trying to control her anger by loudly straightening the magazines on each side table.

I then told my husband in front of her, "I'm not about to sit here listening to that garbage."

Why would she be bent out of shape if she wasn't able to hear the tv from behind that glass parition & my husband & I were the only people sitting in the waiting room?
