CNN is currently in 47 airports throughout the United States (in gate and boarding areas). This means that many travelers–from Atlanta to New York—are bombarded with a left-wing narrative. Looking to get away? Too bad. You’ll be forced to watch the media’s propaganda in the boarding area. Thanks to CNN, the US airport is now an indoctrination facility that’s designed to keep travelers in a state of despair. Control Center CNN The CNN Airport Operations Center in Atlanta–the epicenter of airport propaganda. I’ve traveled to over 75 countries. In all those airports, I’ve never seen the news on a television. Moreover, many international airports don’t even have televisions. This occurrence is, unfortunately, now an American disease. These televisions are like left-wing leashes; no matter where you go, you’re always “there”—in the control room of CNN, being targeted by their provocateurs. As it turns out, CNN pays for the placement. In Philadelphia, for example, they pay the airport $90,000 a year. Good luck trying to change the channel. Gate agents don’t have a remote control, and the sound is controlled by CNN from a remote location. Where do we begin with this travesty? CNN Has A Blatant Liberal Bias The fact that CNN has a liberal bias should come as no surprise. The amount of commentary on this has been numerous, with members of CNN admitting as much: CNN’s Zucker Admits Network Is ‘Too Liberal’ CNN Admits Liberal Bias Against Israel CNN Journalist Criticizes Liberal Media Bias in Jana Winter Case Broadcasting CNN shows a blatant disregard for conservative travelers. You don’t agree with our perspective? Who cares! Sit in the boarding area, shut up, and listen to our divisive narrative. Ever heard of “The customer is always right”? Well, that doesn’t apply in American airports. If you’re conservative traveler, you’ll be exposed to left-wing journalism against your will. On that level, the airport has become like many other American institutions: colleges, human resource departments, etc. Left-wing leaders abuse their positions of authority by forcing their narratives on the audience.
Airport1 Have a great time in Cancun! But before you go, let us mock your traditional values. And for the record, I would say the same thing if Fox was being played. People have the right—liberal or conservative—to have their personal views honored in the public arena. They came to catch a flight, not to hear partisan politics.
What Can We Do About It? This is a huge problem and a solution is not easy. However, if we look at the SJW playbook, we see how effective organized complaints can be. Therefore, I think that voicing our displeasure is a good start. I welcome other suggestions in the comment section, since our readers might have some excellent advice. At any rate, here is some helpful information to get the ball rolling:
Step 1: Contact CNN’s Airport Network and lodge a complaint. Their email is AirportNetwork@cnn.com: Use a burner email if you don’t want your real name attached to it.
Step 2: Lodge a complaint with your local airport, or the airports you frequently use. I’ve included a list below of airports that currently televise CNN (basically, this includes most of the major US airports). I’ve also included their customer service emails, or links to contact pages. I encourage you to contact them, express your displeasure, and state that you will be voicing your complaints across a variety of social media platforms.

Conclusion CNN alleges that most people love their programming in the airport. According to their Airport Network website, “90% of viewers feel CNN Airport Network enhances the airport environment.” They add that, “82% of viewers say watching CNN Airport Network makes the time spent at the airport more worthwhile.” I find these statistics very hard to believe. Moreover, it makes me question the validity of their polling—keep this in mind for the current election, when they tell you in October that Hillary is winning by 27%.
Some people might argue, “Why not just ignore the news?” That might sound logical on the surface. However, remember that a thousand little strokes can fell a great oak. Cultural decay does not happen overnight; it’s done with consistent attacks on the edifice of a country. One day, the edifice crumbles to the floor and the pedestrians ask, “I wonder how that happened?”
CNN’s intrusion into the American airport system is unacceptable. And honestly, I don’t know if we can change the growing tradition. But I do know that if the tradition continues, America will continue to circle the drain.
What a great thing to find!
This is one of the most informative posts I’ve ever seen on FR.
Thank you.
LOL! Didn’t we discuss this yesterday? ;-)
FOX or OAN should offer it for free.
Not only that, but CNN is the only news outlet in many hotel rooms in foreign countries. I was in China recently, just before the big CNN blow-up, and their biased coverage of Trump’s “Russian” conspiracy was reprehensible. I finally found the national Chinese channel in English was much more balanced and interesting in terms of the range of stories.
Why not FOX or other conservative news networks on those hotel networks?
My bank has a TV behind the tellers - when waiting in line
or doing have to watch these clowns spewing out their
propaganda.....
I see Knoxville (TYS) is on the list. The times I’ve flown in and out of there, Fox has been on the TVs. That may have changed since I last flew, though.
Wondering...would that be possible in this business-growth environment...??
And it’s the only news network in China’s airports!
I challenge everyone, whenever they are at the airport take one minute and complain to someone who works there. Does not matter who. It will bubble up to decision makers
It says in the article CNN is paying 90K to the airports.
CNN at airports is part of the Deep State. This arm must go. There is a small but growing movement to get other channels on at airports. I’ll be emailing them!
Wouldn’t be my bank for long.
I’d inform them that I don’t appreciate CNN and their biased coverage and I don’t appreciate doing business with a bank that willingly gives them a platform to do so.
I deal with a small hometown bank for both personal and buusiness.with transactionds in the millions....Bet they would listen.
At work the channel in the break areas alternates between FOX, CNN, HGTV and ESPN. It also varies by floor.
So?
If the forest was on fire yesterday, do we ignore it today?
Or do we fight the fire until it's out?
What’s neat is that many places are tuned to the home improvement channel, house flippers and so forth.
Even at airports, I’ve noticed this. Apparently some do change the channel is you request it.
???
Why would the airports, who now get big bucks to play CNN, say - "Oh, forget the money, we'll just show FOX and OAN for nothing."
Or am I missing something?
Time foe another cuppa Joe.
I went to Mongolia last year, and CNN was playing in the hotel lobby. When I got to my room, I found some Chinese channel playing, and found it just as biased (albeit in a different direction). There was not much choice in channels on the room TV, and I am not much of a TV watcher anyway. I think I fired up my computer and checked email and FreeRepublic instead of watching TV.
I agree it needs to go, but I fly a lot and wonder who watches television at an airport? These days most people I see are glued to their phone or tablet, many with earbuds in their ears.
A more frightening form of indoctrination is TSA. We are being trained to allow our property and our persons to be searched without warrant or cause. This is a direct violation of the Constitution.
