A few simple things one can do to combat the barrage of Fox during your holiday travels...
- Insist TV stations are tuned to "real" (or as real as possible) news stations. Example, I frequently stay at La Quinta hotels for business. In 9 of 10, the lobby televisions are tuned to Fox News in the mornings. I make a small but effective stink with the hapless desk clerk until they change it to a local news station or CNN (lesser of evils). Smile when you do this; no one likes a "whiny liberal."
- If you are in a department store, tune tvs to non-Fox news stations. Again, simple - and what floor salesperson is going to deny you access to the remote of a $1000 wide-screen? "Hey, I just want to see if my CSPAN is going to look good when I bring this tv home." Smile when you do this.
Any other ideas out there?
