OK, so WHY is CNN on in so many public places? Are those in charge being paid to keep it on?
“OK, so WHY is CNN on in so many public places? Are those in charge being paid to keep it on?”
My cousin owns a restaurant bar with the typical wall-to-wall wide screen TVs - with either sports or the news.
The bartenders have the remotes and put something on but they will often listen to what games the regular customers want to watch - if there’s something going on they might put the news on some of the TVs.
My cousin insists on Fox rather than CNN but before he set that “policy”, the bartenders would naturally put on CNN. I don’t think it was any strong liberal preference, they just think CNN is the normal news and Fox is for right wing kooks.
I think we have to realize how completely we conservatives have lost the battle of who controls the media. It’s not like there is half conservative media and half liberal media to choose from - it’s more like 99 to 1 liberal. Even Fox is 80% liberal. Hardly anyone gets Fox Business Network or OAN.
So with the liberals totally controlling what gets broadcast it’s no wonder everyone has been brainwashed to think of liberal CNN as the normal news and not so liberal Fox as the kooky ultra right wing news.
My point is, I don’t think it’s really a conscious decision by facility managers at airports, hotels, doctors offices, etc. to put on CNN - I think they just think of CNN as the generic news.
Hopefully, that will change as a result of CNN constantly making utter asses out if themselves.
