Gym Member Complains About Not Being Able To Watch

A member of a Southside gym is complaining the owners of the gym are being unfair, saying that Fox News has been banned from TVs where she works out.

The only thing Susan Robinson said she likes more than her regular workouts is watching Fox News at the same time. Robinson said Thursday afternoon when she got to Just Fitness on Beach Boulevard she was told she couldn't watch Fox News in the facility anymore.

"He told me the owner wouldn't let Fox News be on, and I was taken aback by that," Robinson said of her conversation with an employee.

Once the owner revealed himself as a pro-censorship leftist I still wouldn’t wish to patronize his business further despite his recant.

Is it because of the politics or the sleaze?

Yes. I am with you on that.

ELSE others more easily intimidated will just ‘suffer in silence’.

The owner of Golds Gyms is a serious conservative.

There are certain hotels that do not carry Fox. They have CNN on in the common areas.

Regardless, not very customer friendly.

Our family belongs to the local YMCA. Management posts comments that they receive from members monthly. Every month, without fail, someone complains that “Faux” News is playing in the weight & cardio room. There are at least 10 t.v.’s playing and these cry babies can't handle it if even one t.v. is turned to Fox News.

Thankfully, our YMCA continues to keep Fox News on (as it continues to air MSNBC & CNN.)

Sounds like you conducted your very own gallop poll.

I would cancel my membership immediately if I were a member of that gym.

Really? I didn’t know that. Glad to be a member, if that’s the case.

Right on Flightdeck! Fortunately for me, my gym shows Fox and CNN. One cardio workout room is FOX News only.
