CNN is currently in 47 airports throughout the United States (in gate and boarding areas). This means that many travelers–from Atlanta to New York—are bombarded with a left-wing narrative. Looking to get away? Too bad. You’ll be forced to watch the media’s propaganda in the boarding area. Thanks to CNN, the US airport is now an indoctrination facility that’s designed to keep travelers in a state of despair. Control Center CNN The CNN Airport Operations Center in Atlanta–the epicenter of airport propaganda. I’ve traveled to over 75 countries. In all those airports, I’ve never seen the news on a television. Moreover, many international airports don’t even have televisions. This occurrence is, unfortunately, now an American disease. These televisions are like left-wing leashes; no matter where you go, you’re always “there”—in the control room of CNN, being targeted by their provocateurs. As it turns out, CNN pays for the placement. In Philadelphia, for example, they pay the airport $90,000 a year. Good luck trying to change the channel. Gate agents don’t have a remote control, and the sound is controlled by CNN from a remote location. Where do we begin with this travesty? CNN Has A Blatant Liberal Bias The fact that CNN has a liberal bias should come as no surprise. The amount of commentary on this has been numerous, with members of CNN admitting as much: CNN’s Zucker Admits Network Is ‘Too Liberal’ CNN Admits Liberal Bias Against Israel CNN Journalist Criticizes Liberal Media Bias in Jana Winter Case Broadcasting CNN shows a blatant disregard for conservative travelers. You don’t agree with our perspective? Who cares! Sit in the boarding area, shut up, and listen to our divisive narrative. Ever heard of “The customer is always right”? Well, that doesn’t apply in American airports. If you’re conservative traveler, you’ll be exposed to left-wing journalism against your will. On that level, the airport has become like many other American institutions: colleges, human resource departments, etc. Left-wing leaders abuse their positions of authority by forcing their narratives on the audience.
Airport1 Have a great time in Cancun! But before you go, let us mock your traditional values. And for the record, I would say the same thing if Fox was being played. People have the right—liberal or conservative—to have their personal views honored in the public arena. They came to catch a flight, not to hear partisan politics.
What Can We Do About It? This is a huge problem and a solution is not easy. However, if we look at the SJW playbook, we see how effective organized complaints can be. Therefore, I think that voicing our displeasure is a good start. I welcome other suggestions in the comment section, since our readers might have some excellent advice. At any rate, here is some helpful information to get the ball rolling:
Step 1: Contact CNN’s Airport Network and lodge a complaint. Their email is AirportNetwork@cnn.com: Use a burner email if you don’t want your real name attached to it.
Step 2: Lodge a complaint with your local airport, or the airports you frequently use. I’ve included a list below of airports that currently televise CNN (basically, this includes most of the major US airports). I’ve also included their customer service emails, or links to contact pages. I encourage you to contact them, express your displeasure, and state that you will be voicing your complaints across a variety of social media platforms.

Conclusion CNN alleges that most people love their programming in the airport. According to their Airport Network website, “90% of viewers feel CNN Airport Network enhances the airport environment.” They add that, “82% of viewers say watching CNN Airport Network makes the time spent at the airport more worthwhile.” I find these statistics very hard to believe. Moreover, it makes me question the validity of their polling—keep this in mind for the current election, when they tell you in October that Hillary is winning by 27%.
Some people might argue, “Why not just ignore the news?” That might sound logical on the surface. However, remember that a thousand little strokes can fell a great oak. Cultural decay does not happen overnight; it’s done with consistent attacks on the edifice of a country. One day, the edifice crumbles to the floor and the pedestrians ask, “I wonder how that happened?”
CNN’s intrusion into the American airport system is unacceptable. And honestly, I don’t know if we can change the growing tradition. But I do know that if the tradition continues, America will continue to circle the drain.
It was so sweet cruising back through on Friday while they were still in shock.
I receive questionnaires from after my flights are completed. Next time I fly, later this summer, I will mention this issue in an attempt to improve the flying experience.
They purport to ask viewers, not travelers, so the polled population is probably those who can stand to watch CNN.
I was in a couple airports yesterday and noticed CNN was on everywhere, like fingernails on a chalkboard. As someone stated above, most everyone was on their phone or computer.
The VA hospital I use normally has CNN running on all of its waiting room televisions. Fortunately, its just part of their cable package and the televisions controls are all accessible by the waiting patients.
After asking my fellow patients, I always change the channel to either Turner Classic Movies or something like Me TV.
No one has ever wanted to continue watching CNN or return to it. Plus they all seem to enjoy the channel shifted to.
It’s always made me uneasy that those TVs are initially set to CNN, and that none take the initiative to switch to something they enjoy.
Nada: [seeing politician on TV for the first time] Ha, figures it’d be something like this.
`They Live!’
Amazon sells a device called tv b gone. It is a universal remote made to turn off tv’s in public places.
“”People have the right—liberal or conservative—to have their personal views honored in the public arena. They came to catch a flight, not to hear partisan politics””
HUH?
You can buy large stickers, like “CNN FakeNews Network” and “CNN Very Fake News,” online to put near the CNN propaganda spewer at airports.
I actually witnessed lots of people at the airport gates watching Fake News CNN last week and openly laughing at them. It’s turned into a form of comedy and the joke is on CNN.
I don’t have a smart phone but I believe if you have one with an IR (internal register?) you can buy an app that allows you to change TV channels as you’re walking by the TeeVee showing the odious, lies-spouting Jake Tapper or Wolf Blitzer.
I'll give you something for free that CNN pays you $90,000 a year to take.
Hmmm, turn down $90,000 free dollars? Where do I sign????
So when CNN reports the number of viewers, do the people in the airport count as part of the audience? Seems like less than quality viewership in that event.
WONDERFUL!
The one thing the left CAN'T STAND is when they are ridiculed!
that would be a good idea too. I don’t have a smart phone either.
The article says it’s not a tv with various channels but a monitor controlled by far away to show and give audio from CNN Atlanta only. So that wouldn’t work.
I’d like a little invention, a tiny cheap voice recorder, that you could discreetly leave near any CNN airport monitor that repeated CNN FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS in a silly singsong voice.
My last office building had a feed in the elevator for something called Captivate. If Obama tied his shoelaces in the morning, they were there to cheer.
So would reruns of "Barney". Simple fix, simply rotate among the "all-news" cable channels, switching every half hour.
Friend of mine goes to local Reno VA hospital regularly. He walks in, & goes directly to the TV & changes it from CNN to Fox. Seems CNN is bothering the vets, also.
As a frequent flier it pains me to have to listen to CNN in the waiting areas. Worst of all many foreign visitors have to hear their drivel as well which gives them a dim view of the USA. Since all Major Airports are taxpayer funded why has CNN have a monopoly on airports?
Journalism is negative, and journalists know it: “If it bleeds, it leads.”Nevertheless, journalists claim that journalism is objective. IOW, journalists claim that negativity is objectivity - and it is hard to improve on that as a definition of “cynicism."
