Democratic gym patron declares war on Fox News
Baltimore Sunpapers ^ | 25 Sept 2009 | Larry Carson

Posted on 09/25/2009 5:36:21 AM PDT by Sgt_Schultze

Ann Geddes doesn't want a "fair and balanced" workout. But the 49-year-old worker for a nonprofit agency is having no luck getting the channel changed in front of her favorite rowing machine at a Columbia gym.

The television happens to be tuned permanently to Fox News. Geddes, a liberal Democrat and former legislative aide to a Howard County delegate, said she can't stomach the conservative lineup that appears nightly as she gets her exercise. Even though the sound is off, the words scrolling across the bottom of the screen infuriate her.

I live in Howard County near Columbia too, Columbia is what ruined HC and is always votes for higher taxes, taxpayer paid housing (actually builds houses), and endless regulations.

I always turn both FNC and MSNBC and CNN on in the gyms I go to. (except weekends)

I know how she feels. It is why I dumped TV in ‘97. But it wasn’t fox news that caused my pain. ;)

Some members of the YMCA in Ipswich, MA asked to have Fox News banned as well. “All of the exercise equipment face the TV’s. With scrolling headlines and angry expressions, no one in the exercise room can ignore the programming on the TV’s. Making a personal choice to not watch the TV is impossible.” from a letter written to the Ipswich Chronicle editor. Apparently, Fox News might brainwash people conflicted about the health care debate.(sarc)

To make it even better, there are 43 monitors, which 3 (yes, 3) are set on Fox. Tolerance, thy name is NOT liberal....

Of the 40 large-screen televisions in the general exercise rooms in Columbia's three gyms, three are set to receive Fox.

Oh, the inhumanity!

Dunno...can you brainwash the braindead? Because at this point anyone "conflicted" has to be!

There is a photographer with a similar name (Anne Geddes). Iwent searching for one of her photographs and the first image I found (not 100% sure that Anne Geddes took this) seems appropriate:

Obama supporters are fascist crybabies.

Gotta remember something, folks...
We are dealing with people who HATE. And they hate us with a blood-curtling passion that unhinges the soul.

Note to Ann Geddes:

Go sit on your vibrator.

“Bob Bellamy, the Columbia Association’s director of operations, said 43,000 people use the Supreme Sports Club facility yearly, and Geddes is the only one who has complained”.

...well, Bob, you done stepped in it there! Be on the lookout for thousands of complaints, boycotts, toilet paper rolls over the gyms, grafitti, protests, the works. Big mouth!

And a letter to our local newsrag had the writer wondering why Beck hasn’t been forced off the air.

After all, he was a Roman Catholic and he was divorced before he converted to be a Mormon.

Logical, no, but then that’s the liberal mind.

Given that this is in the NY Metro area and there are no restrictions on the writer’s choices I fail to see why she doesn’t just stick to MSNBC and CANN.

It seems someone couldn't stomach Ann Geddes.

You should post a link to that photo in the comments page of the Sunpapers. That looks awfully similar to what Nanci Pelosi was talking about.

“..I’d estimate that only just over half of the hotel/motel channel lineup had FOX - but 100% had CNN.”

While it no longer applies to me, when making a reservation, I would make sure the TV had FOX, or no deal.

Yep. That’s one of reasons, not the main reason, I do it.
