Another Deli Down!
Well I was in my favorite local deli yesterday morning and I kind knew they had right wing leanings because they almost always have Faux News on their TV. Well I went in yesterday with my son to grab breakfast and I glanced up at their TV and low and behold they have the My Pillow Idiot paused on the screen like it was some WW2 Nazi beer hall with Hitler's portrait hanging their. A TV background of the My Pillow Guy!!. This is now going to be the third local place I'll have to boycott. Just like two other local lunch eateries/pizza place that have Fox on their TVs. I'm running out of places here folks. What is wrong with these small business owners not realizing they're alienation alot of people who want to spend money in their places?? And being a mammal of rather generous proportions I do spend a fairly good amount of cash!

26. Yelp may not work
My daughter knows of a restaurant in our town that had a notice of a van caravan to the January 6 rally at their entrance. The owners did go, although they didn’t go beyond the barricades at the Capitol.
I posted a Yelp review, pointing out that your patronage of their business would be funding the insurrectionists.
Yelp took it down, saying their restaurant reviews can only discuss food and service issues.

5. THIS:
Go back in, and do this. To block or restrict access to a channel:
Press menu, and then select Apps & More > Settings > Parental Controls to display the Parental Controls screen.
If Parental Controls are disabled, enable them.
Navigate to select Modify next to Modify Parental Restrictions and press ok to display the Parental Controls screen.

27. Done it MANY times.
Usually I just delete Fox from the channel lineup so the TV skips over it. It's quick to do.
I don't go into their private offices, or their homes, to change anything. It's the PUBLIC tv being shoved into customers' faces, where I am paying to be.
Personally, I'd like to see tv's banned from public places. Even when I am on a solo road trip, I'd rather sit at the bar to eat and either talk to others there or just read something, or just get a small table for myself. We don't need a damn TV everywhere we go.

34. Better than leaving BS propaganda playing.
Fox and rightwing Hate Radio are a big part of the reason this country is in such a bad place.

36. One really wonders about such a defense of having RW hate on public TVs
being forced onto the public.
I change it, if they won't. I got a universal remote app & the USB dongle for my phone from Amazon. Best thing I ever got for getting rid of Fox on public TVs
Turning off the likes of Hannity, Ingram, and Field Marshall Carlson is indeed, as you said, a public service.
It's almost like watching children.

Didn't see any of this happen at a car dealership oddly enough...

Lord forbid someone have a differing opinion! Can't have that! How many cops jumped out of the bushes?
Well I went in yesterday with my son to grab breakfast and I glanced up at their TV and low and behold they have the My Pillow Idiot paused on the screen like it was some WW2 Nazi beer hall with Hitler's portrait hanging their.
Now, if we WERE the Nazis, how would that have turned out? No, fool, it's you leftists who are acting exactly like they brownshirts.
I'm almost certain this is a :bouncingidiot:

And we all know it's all about YOU. The only time you mention anyone other than yourself, you seem to be speaking for everyone else ... narcissist much?
Loser.

What a baby! And those businesses (s)he's "boycotting"? They're either obstinately not missing that $$ or are glad a Prog-jerk is gone.

It's not a "PUBLIC" TV; it belongs to the deli owner, who has it as a courtesy for his/her customers. And, I'd guess that it is tuned to Fox because that's what the majority of the customers want. And anyone who messes with someone else's property is a major league jerk.

My family has run a small business for almost 70 years, and they'd have the radio on the local station with the late Rush Limbaugh's show since I was in college. During the brief periods where I helped them out and my Grandpa, Dad, Mom and brother have told me that never once had a customer complained about hearing that that on in the background.

I have a customer in Florida, owner is from Wisconsin, his manager is a lesbian, and Rush was on every time I went in there. Now it's Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.

...then again, you can't really get any Redder, Pro-American than the Florida Panhandle.
EDIT: We need to reclaim blue. When Reagan ran, Republicans were blue. It was a slight of hand by the left to get away from them being viewed as communists. I'm sure Frank remembers.

I've been listening to SF ConservaTalker KSFO for about 25 or 26 years (approximately as long as it's been a ConservaTalker). Many of its callers are the kind of gays/lesbians who don't make headlines because they're just living more or less ordinary lives rather than being loud-mouthed activists.

There's a nifty little toy out there called TV-B-Gone. It was made by a hacker, and basically a key chain that spams out every known OFF signal for as many TV's as possible to shut off TVs in public places (or harass family members in the house). I fully support such a prank, but actively blocking stuff you don't like is just juvenile and pointless.
