"We need to do more than just personally boycotting CNN. We need to tell every hotel that we want Fox News Channel in the room, not CNN. And other public places that offer a variety of stations but provide only CNN for straight news (like my YMCA). We need to speak up and tell them why." ~ afraidfortherepublic
I agree. I've been doing that for a LONG time. I try not to stay at any hotels/motels that doesn't have Fox News.
One quick way to tell them is to click on the "Fox News Channel Hotel Finder" at the Fox News Channel web site
http://www.foxnews.com and they make it easy for us to notify any hotels in a given destination that don't carry it. One can also call 800-683-4136 for the hotels that carry Fox News.
Did you see this post today on another thread, yet?:
Last night we went to dinner at Bennigans. Every TV in the place was tuned to cnn. I asked the bartender if she had seen the news today about cnn. She said she hadn't, so I told her about cnn knowing about the murder and torture going on in Iraq for over a decade, and not reporting on it. I told her it was in the New York Times today. She rolled her eyes and said she couldn't change the channel but would tell the manager. After I walked away she clearly related what I had said to the other bar crawlers and they had a good laugh.
Ten minutes later the channel still hadn't changed, so we asked our waitress to send ove the manager.
We told the manager the same thing we told the bartender. She at least appeared shocked. She then proceeded to tell us that it was BENNIGANS CORPORATE POLICY THAT ALL THEY CAN SHOW IS CNN OR ESPN IN THEIR RESTAURANTS! She did immediately change the TVs over to ESPN.
I think Bennigans needs a good freep to let them know how we feel about their choice of news networks. Their contact info is:
