FOX news gives free TV's to offices, how's this affect their ratings?
FOX high ratings numbers are the excuse that it must be news. But, I wonder.

Are they somehow counting all the people waiting doctor's offices, hospitals, ... who get donated TVs. Then when called to find out what channel is being watched, a savvy receptionist always says it's FOX since that's where the bread is buttered.

Just wondering. Not hearing anything like this on the left-wing radio shows.

..gotta run

3. an old but important discussion of propaganda by Faux Noise Channel!
Edited on Thu Oct-22-09 09:04 AM by Divine Discontent
We have discussed on DU many times, how GOP supporters have done this at their businesses.

A friend on here gave me a pic of his bank's drive up area where all the spaces had Faux News on! I have left 2 businesses because they refused to turn off or change the channel from the Lying News Channel.


Any station that would claim they're news, but doctor photos of people they don't like (like this) should not be on in a business!
