Just leave ESPN on. Or Shark Week. Deadliest catch? How hard is this guys? Leave your religion and politics at home! I feel the same way about the guys who leave the little pamphlets about accepting Jesus into your life around the crew lounge or in the bathroom. Save this stuff for your time off.

I actually watch them all... I have no problems turning on CNN or MSNBC and watching them for their perspective. Problem is, especially these days, is that just like you, I don't care for anti-Semitism and blatant display of racism against the white people (watch MSNBC lately? Whew.... they REALLY upped their game.). On top of that, I kinda have a problem when a supposed news channel refuses to broadcast one party's caucus victory speech because they're so clairvoyant with their news and they just knew in advance it was gonna be filled with white supremacist, MAGA extremist ideas, so they just refused to broadcast it and bragged about it.
And kinda tired of all the yelling on ESPN...

Lots of people on here know me in the real world. If you really care - and I don't have any idea why you would - you could ask and they'll tell you I'm not.
That said, I find the SWAPA forum much more useful without all of that extraneous BS that has nothing to do with our profession and/or our contract.

I know it's hard for you to wrap your head around, but progressives and conservatives can be great friends. We just don't spend a lot of time talking about those areas where we know we disagree - and when we do. It's over a cold beer when we can laugh at each other about it all and agree and the areas where we can agree.
Cant do that with cable news where they are strategically and purposefully trying to whip up their target audiences in order to pump up the numbers for advertising dollars.

Not the same problem brother, and you know it. It has nothing to do with one's politics and religion. I'd have the same problem if someone purposefully tried to censor the left wing news.

Ugh... Cramer is another guy who was never taught volume control as a kid. But if you tried to watch Fox Business in MDW lounge... sorry, parental blocked too. You shall respond to yelling and screaming... be it ESPN or CNBC.

Maybe they didn’t block the other news channels because they’ve literally never seen those channels used on that tv before. Keep it to sports and movies and the weather or get rid of the tvs completely. How about a peaceful place to relax out of the chaos of the terminal.

And in PHX a little while ago, some jackass set up the DirecTV box to auto-tune NewsMax every 15 minutes. Talk about insecurity.
