| Went to eat tonight...been there several times, they had TV on Fox blech |
|
owner served us.
I asked if they could turn the channel to another station, they turned it to MSNBC and we all watched olberman...
then the owner knocked 5 bucks off of our bill!!!
I think we all need to start standing our ground.
people are ready for change

| 16. Interesting. My fave Vietnamese restaurant ..... |
|
here in Minneapolis has a bad Fox habit...and a really big TV. That's why I do take out there.

| 2. That's a good start. However, I won't patronize restaurants with TV's |
|
I can go an hour or so without all that stuff (good or Fox) playing in the background.

| 15. Maybe we should all do that... |

Our bank always has the TV on Faux. The VA is the same way.

| 17. Go to FIREHOUSE SUBS. They always have Faux on. |
|
Most of the ones in Florida do, anyway. They're always having someone drooling over Bush's latest song-and-dance whenever I eat there. Good sandwiches, but the TV is bad for the digestion.

| 19. I've been to a few government offices that have Fox News on |
|
In the public reception rooms. I'm sure this is due to a rather disturbing Bush crony mandat from all the cretins he's put in high paying positions with little experience...

| 21. As I recently posted, my doctor's office had Faux on. One DU'er |
|
said she asks her doctor's staff to turn it off because Faux makes her nauseous! I wrote a letter to mine -- probably have to wait twice as long from now on!
