In reply to the discussion: At FDA, TVs now turned to Fox News and can't be switched [View all]calimary
(80,693 posts)19. There's a restaurant at the municipal airport in Camarillo CA that's like that.
The owner has issued a standing order that the big flat screen TV in the entryway is on Pox Noise. ALL THE TIME.
I know because I ate there once and I asked. I ALWAYS ask - whenever I'm in any business that has a TV on that's tuned to Pox Noise. As a paying customer, I use my status as such to take a smack at Pox Noise. I did that at my bank. I kept doing that til they changed it. But I failed at that restaurant. The young woman at the reception desk told me it was a flat-out order from the owner. I told her I intend to remember that.

I've seen this in other countries with right-wing leaders (even supposedly 'democratic' ones)

Clearly illegal and immoral. Plus, didn't they just claim they never ordered this?

If they're using "smart tvs" then it is possible they're being used as spying devices
