Looks like some of the people in the village got their panties in a wad.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. George Orwell
Doesn’t Communist Party U.S.A. have a channel they could watch?
LA Fitness plays that CNN propaganda crap.
Well, that’s it then...only QVC on the treadmill TV’s....
Settled.....
They have plenty...also in the Boston area it was just announced that progressive talk station WWZN-AM will broadcast two daily newscasts from WCVB-TV (ABC)—well known to be left leaning. Would WWZN have aired the Fox affiliate’s news? Nope!
And did these Y members complain about the anti-conservative, vitriol other stations air? How would they have reacted if the Y shut THOSE stations off?

The postal sorting facility where I work force feeds us CNN—and Headline News, at that. BREAKING NEWS!!!! from
Nancy Grace. We can’t change the channel (some people go by and unplug the set)
Actually, I understand their angst - I hate to be captive on a treadmill while ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc., is on. But scrolling headlines and angry expressions aren’t the problem. (Did they really whine about scrolling headlines and angry expressions? Yikes!)
They tried that at my club here in San Antonio. They actually blocked Fox News. Lasted one day. So many people were coming up to the counter and asking that the feed be fixed that I guess they gave up. It was back on the next day. Don’t mess with Texas.
Colonel, USAFR
If those wimpy treadmill ‘rats think Fox News is “hate speech,” they can’t handle the TRUTH!
A universal remote would fix the problem.

Delete the word “unhealthy” and you have the liberals’ real concern.
comments on the article:
>>Fox is the only that comes even close to presenting both sides of the story. The other three local channels as well as the news-only (ha, now there’s a lie) force-feed their viewers with nothing but the liberal’s side of the story. Then the “news-only” stations feel compelled to tell us about who got voted off of American Idol last night. Come on, get with it people. Stop watching their trash and they will have to change.
-—They don’t get much more liberal than me, and I do watch Fox occasionally to understand “the other side.” Those four women ought to be ashamed of themselves. They make a mockery of true liberalism by encouraging censorship of ideas and speech the opposite of their own. Read the story — each person exercising gets headphones and can choose which channel they hear — they are not forced to listen to the Fox guys blaring into the exercise room. I’m shocked that the Y caved to these four, and hope this never happens again. Grow up, you four, and apologize for what was an outrageous attempt to stomp on free speech.
&&& It continues to amaze me how the left gets their panties in a bunch over Fox. Their highest rated show (O’Reilly) is seen by 2.5 million on an average night. Pretty small compared to the 10s of millions watching the left leaning nightly news on the broadcast networks. During Bush, it was all the trend to protest and question government. Now when we do we are nazis, racists, un american and other names. The bigger story is how the Y caved for 4 moonbats. That is a scary thought. What’s next?
>>That is precisely why I watch Fox. The regular networks joined by CNN , MSNBC ETC are so biased in their reporting they can no longer be viewed as news organizations. People like you aparently don’t see through their We’re for the people, We’re for the right, not the wrong hyberbole that you are swallowing hook line and sinker.

I object to CNN at the airport.
Liberals are only in favor of CHOICE when it allows the ignorant and irresponsible among us to kill unborn children. The Y needs to find a proctologist and have them removed.
Libs online refer to it as Faux News, Fox Noise, etc.
Yet ever notice the cable news prime time ratings roundup Drudge puts up? Most of the top shows are Fox ones...CNN, MSNBC, etc. all lag behind. People want and need Fox.
Was pleased to see Fox News on at the airport recently (Manchester NH, I think) right next to my Southwest gate!
