Instead of polarizing news that at least half the people would want to tune out, why not use those monitors for information that would make the boarding process easier; give subtle clues on passenger edicate; or explain to the public why some of the regulations and policies we enforce are in place.
For example, if there was a 60 second clip about why we are prohibited from moving the aircraft with passengers out of their seat, maybe we could have mitigated the guy that didn't understand why he couldn't use the bathroom during takeoff.
I think we're missing an opportunity to better serve the public with the video displays in the gatehouse.

Be that as it may, I imagine it would wind up being like the AFN spots that replace all the commercials on TV overseas for the military. Being subjected to those for an hour before boarding would be enough to make sure everyone was good and ticked off.

Someone told me a ways back, "If you had to talk for 24hrs, 7 days a week, you'd have to make stuff up" That's exactly whats happening with the 'new' media cycle. If there's not news, you better make some
Just look at our "rage & confrontation" culture. Its all over the TV with so called reality TV and all the mouth breathing pundits with hot takes on TV. We repeat or act out what we think is normal from what we see on the dish
We're not too far off from the Running Man

I don't think the 24 hour news in your face at every place you go is going anywhere anytime soon. TV's in every restaurant, bank, bar, barber shop is the way now, even if no one is watching. It's one thing if you're playing sports, but sometimes we want to piece and quiet. I remember being stuck in ATL airport overnight and finding a quiet place to sleep. The news in every corner continued to blare at full blast. But CNN and the airports make lots of money off of playing them on the "airport networks" so as I said. It's not going anywhere, sadly.
