Stuck in waiting room forced to listen to CNN
I'm currently 2.5 hours into waiting for my car to be serviced. Of course the waiting room has a big TV blaring CNN.

I'm forced to listen to it, which of course is torture. But it's also kind of fascinating to observe how they subtly (and not-so-subtly) paint every story with an anti-Trump slant. Every word they say and their phrasing are designed to twist the viewer's mind against Trump and to scare them. Trump is always wrong, dangerous, incompetent, lying, etc.

And every "expert" guest or congress critter they have on are given leading questions to set up their Trump bashing and fear mongering. And they all repeat the same talking points (like always referring to AG Barr as "Trump's personal attorney").

It's pure propaganda and brain washing, nothing more. I know you all know this, but it's still shocking to actually hear it, as I never voluntarily subject myself to this garbage.

The MSM really is the enemy of the people. And everyone who works on these propaganda broadcasts and all the guests who appear on them are nothing but whores.

This is really sad.

TV-B-Gone Keychain Remote
The TV-B-Gone® universal remote control allows you to turn virtually any TV On or OFF. We prefer OFF.

You control when you see TV, rather than what you see. The TV-B-Gone Keychain remote is so small that it easily fits in your pocket so that you have it handy whenever you need it, wherever you go: bars, restaurants, laundromats, ballparks, arenas, etc.

“You can use TV-B-Gone® to control access to television for philosophical or practical reasons, or simply to have fun!“
—Mitch Altman, Inventor of TV-B-Gone®

TV-B-Gone® is a type of Universal Remote Control which works by shining pulses of invisible light that tells most any TV to turn OFF or On. The TV-B-Gone® Keychain works great. The TV-B-Gone Pro Super High Power (SHP) works even better!

Complain.

Tell them it's offensive, and they must change the channel to Fox News.

Re: Stuck in waiting room forced to listen to CNN
I had a similar experience at an auto shop.

Myself and two others were subjected to CNN for about 20 mins. before I decided to get up and turn the channel to FOX NEWS and the other two guys let out an audible sigh of relief and one said "Thank you! Couldn't take much more of that crap!"

The other guy agreed.

We had a great conversation about life, politics, our kids, and other things for about 3 hours after that lol

I think that 90% of CNN 'viewer numbers' are situations like this. Airports, restaurants, waiting rooms - areas where you can't change the channel and your brain is forced to receive your daily dose of programming.

Re: Stuck in waiting room forced to listen to CNN
In my opinion, it's exceptionally important to know what 'the other side' is hearing and seeing.

I make it a point to watch and read the left point of view. I try hard to figure out why people on the left believe as they do. I admit, I know several people whom I respect who are on the left.

You can't really appreciate or understand the constant drumbeat of Trump hysteria until you do Contrarian Media Viewing. It's educational.

There is one very left media star that I'd almost rather stick a fork in my eye than watch. But I do watch her.

Someone who is only a left news consumer said to me, 'Well you think that because the news you watch tells you that'.
It was very educational and correct.

The information which runs counter to RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA is unknown to those who only consume left media. It's NOT REPORTED. This is extremely important to know.

Re: Stuck in waiting room forced to listen to CNN
You should change to the History Channel and watch the junk pickers find old gas pumps, tools and crap.

I was at the car dealer for two hours yesterday and got a hold of the remote, they didn't have most of the premium channels and a lot of anything interesting was blocked. We don't have TV in our home and haven't had it for ten years.

The history channel used to have good shows, now it's all pawn shops and junk picker crap.

Any news is pure propaganda.

Cable/satellite TV is a 500 channel wasteland.

The people who watch that crap are so stupid and brainwashed, professional time wasters.
