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.

And she's arguing over nothing...
"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.
The FOX screen is directly in front of the rowing machine Geddes prefers, though a second one two feet away faces a screen showing NBC. Others broadcast local stations, CNN, ESPN, MSNBC, the Food Network, Discovery Channel and HGTV."

What a putzy gym owner to cave to that b****. If I belonged, I’d quit. They have to decide whether or not they want real men (and women) working out there or a bunch of snot-noses.

If this "woman" is so elite and well-connected, maybe she should buy her own damn rowing machine and stay home...then she can watch Sesame Street if she wants.
If you continually appease spoiled children, they only get worse, not better. A whimper today becomes screaming rage tomorrow.
How did a story about this woman hating FOX news, become NEWS anyway? Sounds like something that belongs on Springer.

Evil b****.
I am trapped at the airport with the Commie “News” Network and I cannot escape the sound and endless lies.

The only commenter who agreed with the “offended” one, was also the only one who put their email address down as their ID. Dumb-dee-dumb dumb.

"Funny, thats how I feel when Im forced to watch CNN in the Atlanta (and just about any other) airport." ARE there airports that don't have their TV's permanently set to CNN??? I don't recall every being in one.
To: Sgt_Schultze
Can I sue for having to listen to some jackass shouting about “teabaggers” and “Republican nazi’s” from the CNN/Airport screens with the volume on 11 in the Atlanta airport?

That’s from an Onion parody of Ann Geddes’ photographs. The headline of the Onion article is: “Ann Geddes Starting to Lose It”

Thanks. I didn’t think it was genuine, but I couldn’t tell for sure.

The photo is hilarious and probably represents where Ann was heading next.

You gave my big laugh of the day! Keep up the good work.

This story is not news. Not even close. One gym has a tv tuned to the Fox News Channel? What about every single airport in the United States and all the doctor’s waiting rooms tuned to CNN or CNN health?

Exactly. I habitually show up 2-3 hours early for my flights and in most airports, there's practically no place where you can sit comfortably and not have CNN squawking at you. It's very annoying when you're trying to read or work on your laptop.

I think she’s just a nut; any sane individual would just adjust to the situation and move on (it’s tyranny for the business owner) to go through the hassle of changing one tv for one customer!
