Fight the stupidity! Get involved and do you part to improve political literacy in the US. Whenever you are subjected to Fox, demand relief from those responsible. Below is the mail I sent to my local airport. Feel free to copy and edit to suit your situation and thoughts.
Dear Sir or Madam,
While waiting for an early morning flight from XXX, I was offended by the highly partisan Fox cable 'news' showing on 4 of the 7 TVs visible at the time. Who decided that we in the captive audience will be subjected to one-sided political propaganda? I think most fellow-travelers would prefer something certifiably unbiased, informative, or educational (e.g., CSPAN, the Weather Channel, PBS). Or even better, perhaps one of our fine local channels?
Thank you for your consideration and reply.I also provided my email address and they promised a reply, which I will be waiting for. If they don't promise a change, I will write to my local newspaper. (BTW I did intend the slightly provocative "fellow-travelers" reference.)
All the best,
"Reuel"
