CNN has always been partisan Democrat, but lately they have adopted a unbelievablely hyperpartisan, Anti-Trump stance. They are the opposite of objective, heavily invested in Democrat victories and talking down President Trump no matter what he says or does.
This hyperpartisan Non-News/Fake-News organization has done the following:
This thread will serve as a brainstorming and resource thread, and will track our progress.
As a very frequent traveler, I would love to see it gone from the monitors. But, these are locally run or even privately run airports, and I don’t think we have much say in it. I don’t know who pays for the TVs were the signal. I have plenty of online options on my iPhone and iPad so I completely nor the monitors as do a large majority of folks I see in the airports. It would be better, really to just get rid of them entirely.

My understanding is that CNN pays the airports to have their public TVs tuned to CNN.
Don’t care if they do pay. They need gone.
Some people on Reddit have suggested changing the channel when you are traveling through airports with a mobile phone that has an IR blaster. I think the Samsung galaxy’s have that for example.
HA! Brilliant!
call this into the rush limbaugh show
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
I wonder if this works on airport TVs? Available at Bezos Amazon and probably elsewhere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV-B-Gone
I’ve been complaining/posting about this, for a few months, now.
There’ve been a couple of threads about it.
It’s called CNN Airport.
Here is the list of airports that contract w/them. (Paid for by YOUR city/travel taxes, btw).....

Flying only Space A DOD or rent C172’s from my local Aero Club, so haven’t been in a “TSA infested” Airport per se ..... haven’t seen CNN since 2008 when they got BHO elected . Close as I get to CNN is reading about them on conservative sites.
I want CNN ............GONE 100% everywhere.
It used to work on the airport TVs http://mediashift.org/2006/04/digging-deepertv-b-gone-device-shuts-public-tvs-down101/
Runs in doctors offices and in college common areas too. I don’t think anyone loves CNN, it’s just got a very undeserved reputation for non-partisanship. FOX doesn’t run because it is viewed as partisan. BBC doesn’t because it isn’t American and it isn’t available in stripped down subscription services.
Just give people a non-partisan option and I think many would jump at it because since Katrina, CNN has had a reputation for being sensationalist ghouls.
Last week I did quite a bit of travelling and stayed in a few hotels. When the email came yesterday to ‘submit a review of the hotel’, my first line under the category of “Things we could have done better” was this.... You had CNN on the large monitor of the lobby and breakfast area. Hotels should NEVER play revolting propaganda in their public areas.
How did it come to be that CNN got this? It is also the only news channel patients can view at Keck USC hospital.
This is a significant platform.
Every time you go to the airport bug the stuffing out of some employee to turn it off. If joe grunt at the airport keeps hearing complaint after complaint maybe they will turn it off just to shut people up
Yep we all have Samsung galaxy;s here and we use the app to turn the TV over, and lower the volume.
