Wow.
CNN *pays* to have the airports run their channel.
In Miami $150K a year!
Another example of media not concerned about a profit, but are concerned with pushing their agenda!
I always carry a Universal Remote when I travel. I leave it in my carry on bag so I dont forget it. Old Babes have lost the ability to tolerate BS.
streaming video on smart phones or tablets is making that pretty irrelevant.
Glad I have retired and do not fly anymore. Airports will do anything to make a buck including subjecting travelers to communist rhetoric
A local watering hole on my neighborhood has only three TVs and they’re always tuned to some international crap like soccer or other Euro sporting event and when I asked if they could put the Simpsons on at the TV I was closest to the bartender said “Absolutely not!”...WTF?
This takes care of the problem:

I know. Not much different.
Tie the “federal purse strings” of federal aid to airports, with regulatory denial of that aid to any airport that allows any cable company to buy it’s way onto their publicly viewed TV screens.
What bothers me is my financial advisers new office has a large flat panel with CNN on it while we talk. The sound is muted, but still it sets up an atmosphere of distrust. She’s a Hitlery grade leftist, but she does very good with my account, so I limit the number of visits with her to one per year.
I’ve often wondered about this. It’s annoying.
But what is even more annoying is the “music” I have to listen to when eating out. Almost always it’s some version of rap or some woman screaming in a shrill manner.
And what about commercials? Mixed race couples, with blacks disproportionately represented. I’m not suggesting a conspiracy but I’m convinced that advertisers bend over backwards to do these things to avoid the charge of “racism.” No wonder rap and hip hop have taken the Top 40.
Ever notice that almost every commercial is accompanied by the thump thump thump of rap? (Wouldn’t it be nice to hear an acoustical guitar on occasion?) We’re being assaulted with a crap culture and everyone seems afraid to voice dissent for fear of condemnation or the charge of racism.
Fortunately some blacks are aware of the destructive effects of the violence and misogyny of hip hop:

Charlotte had CNN on one TV and MSNBC on the other. I was trapped in a liberal mecca for two hours. That is when I appreciate being a Freeper.
