Movement to Topple CNN’s Airport Monopoly Gains Steam

Americans sick of #FakeNews propaganda in public spaces

(Infowars) – The backlash against CNN continues to grow as Americans are force-fed anti-Trump propaganda and #FakeNews at airports across the US, where the network has a veritable monopoly on broadcasting.

Former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo has started a petition to be sent to the mayor and city council of Denver to “Get CNN Out of Denver International Airport,” which he hopes will fuel a national movement.

“CNN has been the leading source for Fake News that radical liberals are using to rally voters against our President, and yet, this ‘news’ station is playing 24/7 in 50 airports all across the United States!” reads the petition. “CNN’s garbage is being forced upon the millions of Americans and international visitors that fly in and out of our airports.”

“It’s time to stop this taxpayer funded propaganda!”

>snip<

CNN currently lists 46 airports that air their specialized CNN Airport Network – a modified version of their mainline broadcast – including Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Washington DC, Miami, and Dallas, which comprises most of the busiest hubs in the US.

CNN reportedly airs at over 2,400 boarding gates. However, control of the televisions is handled autonomously by the TVs themselves, or remotely by CNN employees – including the volume.

CNN is Atlanta-based.....also the Delta hub. Find their locations out of Atlanta and go from there.

Rotate them. By the day. By the week. Whatever.

Right now there are 3 major 24 hour news stations and several smaller ones. Choose the top 5 by viewership and rotate em out.

It is grossly unfair that CNN is given such a huge advantage, especially considering how intentionally dishonest their coverage is.

I agree 100%....when in an airport...tell the FIRST uniformed airport employee to “please, turn off that Fake CNN”.

Traveler news addicts, like us, deserve a break from the CNN monopoly in airports. Either include FOX or cut the cord.

Had no idea how this CNN monopoly was arranged. Thanks for posting.

Oh, come on. I have even thought about sticking FakeNewNetwork stickers up on the airport TV screens.

I will get judgmental about fake news ;-)

Don’t forget, they pump their bilge across Europe also.

Imagine folks over there seeing that “stuff” unfiltered.
