PS: As we travelled 3,000
miles this Summer, we found that some hotels had ONLY CNN on
the TVs in the breakfast rooms and lobbies while others had
FOX NEWS. Now we know why. These hotels are pushing an
agenda. Also, when we asked to change the station, the answer
was NO. This includes the food courts in some of the military
bases.

Could I have the choice of patronizing those establishments that choose not to become involved in the political process at all? I jest, of course, as I know that the modern klepto-fascist monopoly state renders that economically implausible for all but the smallest business concerns.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, M.B. since I'd eliminate all corporate funding for political campaigns.
DeleteA screeching halt, it would be.
DeleteCircuit City Stores went under in 2009. When is this list supposed to be from?
ReplyDeleteThis was sent to me by Mike Scruggs and so far I haven't duplicated it on the site, so I will leave the link until I do or don't and thanks for the heads up.

I had to question the date of issue as well.... as soon as I saw the donation by Circuit City. They did cease doing business several years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
