Yeah I hate Fox news. I'm tired of that garbage being on and I don't care who knows it. If you wanna watch that trash do it on your own time. Don't force the rest of us to ingest your crazy, actively or passively.
There I said it.

When they remodeled the AOC they shrunk the briefing counter area by about 40%.
The reason they gave is that we were all going to start briefing using our IPads and flying paperless. The area to the west of the briefing counters was set up in little sitting areas so we could sit down to brief.
That area was never meant to be some sort of open-air TV lounge. I can't believe it took this long to remove the TV's. Nothing political about it. The blaring noise of the TV is distracting to crews briefing complex flights in the middle of the night.

Can't have ESPN. NBA, NFL are a steady diet of China tolerance and divisive racial politics.
How about Food Network? Usually lots of well-fed folks on those Fox News couches
