Disgust! Instead of Musak I was treated to fascist demogogue

[featherman]

Michael Savage raging and raving while on hold after phoning the local Mt Shasta CA business that serves the DISH network here in Siskiyou County. I'm a business person myself with long hours on the phone to customers. I can't imagine what these morons are thinking... that unsuspecting customers should be forced to listen to looney tunes extremists while waiting to conduct a simple business transaction.
That ain't good business as they are soon to find out.

1. I'm blown away by the percentage of TVs playing Fox News >

wherever there's a TV playing for no particular reason.

3. The Cafeteria at my community college.

One TV on Fox one on CNN :eyes:

11. At my community college it was ALL of them on Fox.

4. They give it away for free in a lot of markets

so store owners can buy cable with no service, but get Fox News free and don't have to worry about crappy signals.

5. Aha! Thanks for the explanation. Shows the value of the programming when

they GIVE it away, yes?

6. Firehouse Subs' corporate office REQUIRES them to show Fox News.

I asked a manager once why the TV is always on Faux, and they said that it's a directive from their home office. They must show Fox News or a sporting event, nothing else.

7. I see that all the time, once in a fairly upscale hotel and I've got

to wonder, is this culture afraid of silence? TVs are on in restaurants and waiting rooms and hotel lobbies - it's like we can't do without that noise!

I go to my dentist' in the afternoons and end up forced to watch soap operas! They have magazines there too. Is the TV for the illiterate?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

9. It must be. We seem to have become...

a culture that requires CONSTANT stimulation. My pet peeve is when TVs blare at the doctor's office with cable "news" channels. Listening to Wolf Blitzer yammer away when feeling poorly does NOTHING to improve one's condition! Hell, he makes me sick even when I'm in the best of health!

2. complain to Dish network. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Vote with your feet. Tell them to go to hell, and tell them why.

I will no longer partonize anyone that forces Faux or worse on me. And I tell them why they will no longer have my business.

I blew off a local pack 'n' ship here in town.. nice folks, but the place is always filled with RW programming. And go to the top guy, not the clerk.

10. You absolutely need to complain to Dish Network.

They have given you no choice but to do biz with that company. It's one thing to have a republican leaning media at a biz, but Savage is outside the realm of normal political discourse. We can't agree with everything on tv or radio, but what they are playing is unforgivable in biz. Call Dish Network and that company and complain.
