Demand Congress Remove CNN's Airport Monopoly and Tax Payer Funded Broadcast
Petitions to Congress ^ | July 4, 2017 | Colleen Conley

"As it stands, taxpayers, like you and I, fund the free broadcast of an extremely partisan cable news network in airports around the country. In America we aren’t supposed to have state-sponsored media. CNN’s biased propaganda is being piped into the subconscious of America’s traveling public and all taxpayers are paying for their opinion." Click link for the survey.

That is the only reason they even have viewers, they are in all airports in this country.

Furthermore, most airport viewers are highly distracted and may only get tidbits of the story making any misleading banners or reports even more likely to have a prejudicial effect on the undiscerning public.

I think they have a special feed for doctors offices where they feature medical scare-your-ass or nag-you-in-front-of-the-children stories intended to frighten women into believing the latest pop science garbage on everything from obesity to climate change.

You mean it is actually a law that they show CNN in airports?

I thought it was just a bad habit.

I believe that CNN paid for all the equipment and maintenance of the airport broadcasts.

All you need to do is to call your local airport and tell them that you will pay them more money than CNN pays them and you can broadcast what ever you like.

“Trump should get on this pronto. Hotel lobbies next.”

You want the president to dictate the broadcasts within hotels and airports.

Since Trump can’t seem to get PBS/NPR de-funded, how about some editorial control, fairness, fact-based reporting, and some changes in delivery? If we can’t defund it, CHANGE it! Then take CNN out of the airports and display NPR/PBS! Or better yet, rotate the news stations.

They don’t.

CNN funds the airport video equipment and broadcasts.
