Were it in the Atlanta airport, I would--again, personally--hope that people would complain, and that the airport concession would change it. Would that happen? Probably not. Would I be disappointed? Yes. Is there anything else I could do about it? Not really. So here I am on APC trying to share my opinion with other educated people in some small way.
That's a fair answer. I'll bet many people feel the same way about CNN that you feel about Fox.

I agree with you about objective truth. I'm not here to defend Fox or CNN. I also agree with your point about the influence of money.

My question is this: In the hypothetical in which you would be sitting there disappointed and hoping people would complain to change it, I would ask why.

Why should a paying passenger have to ensure ideological propoganda just because airport management thinks it's a good idea?

Why would we knowingly subject either half of the people that make our jobs possible to the propoganda of the other half?
