I was in a bar tonight...
On the large screen TV's.

On the right side of the bar they had Fox News.

On the Left Side they had MSNBC.

I made a comment to the bartender, "now that's what I call fair and balanced."

She told me all the younger people were complaining about Fox News so they compromised and put up MSNBC.

Of course no one but a small circle of friends and adversaries would care since all thirty or so other screens were exclusively dedicated the sports channels. Still, I'm grow so weary of seeing Fox News as the only channel in some places. It's just delightful and refreshing to see some establishments are willing to break the mold.

1. My place of business has TV's everywhere
and we allow every channel except Fox News. Union TV operators set the 250 screens at Suffolk Downs in Boston.

4. Did they have Fox on the right on purpose?
That's just too delicious!

5. At my previous company, we had a TV that was always on Faux News . . .
. . . and a coworker and I would always change the channel.

But someone (not sure who) would always change it back to Faux. :puke:
