Leftist are subhuman species
I just checked in on the 4chan kids and they are already on it. CNN is a part of Time/Warner. The ATT merger is still in the works. If folks start dropping ATT today that $85Billion dollar deal may not happen. I suppose that will hurt them more than me trashing a TV or walking out of an eatery.
I more or less have to travel by air. I recently discovered the joy of Amtrak, but traveling by train is time-consuming and the number of destinations is limited.
I think that rather than avoiding places that show CNN, complaining that they do so might be more effective.
Well then, go ahead. BTW, don’t contact me for your bail. CNN is a virtual bear in the news world, or at least starting with the era of Trump, was. Be patient, the bear is about to be relegated to junk status really soon.
Knowing that CNN most likely used its leverage within Time-Warner to get to the account of the Reddit user, now they can kiss goodbye the proposed merger approval with AT&T. One would think that AT&T would most likely pull their offer rather than the FCC having to even offer anything of an up or down ruling. CNN just went from being “controversial” as stated recently by the boss at AT&T, to now being toxic.
I’ve had AT&T cell phone service for decades, and I loved Uverse when I had it.
I have been thinking about going to Google cell phone service, which seems to be a lot cheaper. But Google is another of these large companies which seems to have kooky leftists at the helm. (Which begs the question, how can they use the principles of free market to enrich themselves and still push socialist propaganda?)
I wish you could pick and choose your channels on cable TV. I am paying for CNN because it is part of the package from Comcast, yet we never watch it. Why can’t we choose the channels we get? I think that without the subsidy via the cable pricing structure, CNN would wither away.
I have voiced my complaints in establishments before and when presented with the opportunity, still do so. It is just because of my changed traveling habits, I have not the need to complain as much, therefore making my life more enjoyable. If I go into an eating establishment with friends and see a tube with CNN on it, I ask to be seated in a place where I cannot see CNN specifically before even being seated. If I get any kind of resistance from the hostess, I politely ask to see the manager.
Anywhere along the road when I feel the need, I pull off in a rest area and can go directly to my kitchen, bedroom or even get connected to be in my mobile office. Same applies to when I get to my destination. No more having to deal with the crappy “free” breakfasts and having to eat behind someone who sneezes all over the buffet line or wipes their nose or face before picking up a serving spoon.

Thanks, I bookmarked those links.
I get phone, internet, and cable as a package.
I could go back to land lines for phone. (I will never make cell phones my primary phone for the house; the sound quality makes them very difficult for me to understand.)
As far as I’m concerned, we don’t need TV at all. But my husband is addicted to it.
I just got a Roku Express, dumped Dish, and when I set up Roku took great pleasure in not choosing CNN, PBS and certain other streaming channels. Britbox, Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime provide enough good entertainment for a lifetime,
SO if a restaurant, you’ll get takeout then?
I’m just po’d.
It looks like the 4chan kids have already gone postal on other “creative ways” to deal with this.
It does make you wonder who watches this stuff or, more importantly, who takes it seriously.
They are effectively a 24-hr troll operation. Many have pointed out that a significant portion of their claimed audience is from their presence in airports where hapless travelers resort to music through headphones to drown it out.
Once upon a time CNN may have delivered weather, sports news, etc. but even they would admit it's strictly a partisan political gabfest now. Where are the Congress members or DHS administrators questioning or challenging CNN's suitability for broadcast to the general public in airports funded by the public?
