smirkymonkey (30,999 posts)Well, found out who was turning off CNN in the work kitchen.Some of us were always wondering who the culprit was and I was in the kitchen filling up my water glass when a woman from the other side of the floor came in and said "I can't stand listening to this "fake news" and turned the TV off. I didn't say anything because generally she is a very nice person and I was kind of shocked. I didn't want to get into a "situation" at work, but it really pissed me off. From now on, when the TV is off or on another channel, I am going to turn it to CNN (not my favorite channel, but the only news network we have).

I think if there had been a few other people in there watching I might have said something. We have a pretty multicultural office and a lot of people from other countries. I doubt very much they are Trump fans. Anyway, it just pissed me off.

Response to BigmanPigman (Reply #3)Fri May 4, 2018, 07:36 PM smirkymonkey (30,999 posts) 4. You are right. I was pissed.I have heard her go off on liberals before. This isn't the first time. She's pretty bold considering the fact that it's Boston and that it's a very multi-cultural office. However she is your typical suburban white, uneducated, admin person. She hates liberals but I doubt she could really tell you why. I don't engage her. I don't want to make a scene at work.

Response to AJT (Reply #7)Fri May 4, 2018, 07:57 PM smirkymonkey (30,999 posts) 13. You know, you are right. I thought it was very rude.I might have turned off the TV, but I never would have made the comment. Especially since I think there are a lot of liberals in our office. The arrogance of the deplorables never ceases to amaze me. They think everyone should think the way they do.

Response to smirkymonkey (Original post)Fri May 4, 2018, 07:47 PM Cha (206,788 posts) 8. And, that's how the idiot in the wh affects hisbrainwashed cult. I can imagine how pissed you were, smirky. I probably wouldn't have said anything, either, though.. in a work environment like that.
Response to Cha (Reply #8)Fri May 4, 2018, 07:59 PM smirkymonkey (30,999 posts) 14. I know, I wouldn't but they don't seem to have a problem with it. I hope someday she comesup against the wrong person. One of her managers is Indian and the other is an Italian national (but very liberal judging from the groups he sponsors). She had better watch herself. I would like to say something, but I think these people are going to end up hanging themselves in the long run. Hope all is well w/ you Cha!

This DUmmie is using a old method of the former car dealership worker.
MrScorpio (69,060 posts)1. You should have asked her to explain why CNN is fake.I'm sure you'd get an interesting answer. Wel it is fake because ...you know they say it is and it has to be true because I saw it on the interwebsI would have told her that I'm watching that, even if I wasn't.
DUmmy "smirkymonkey" is a total ditz, she's a marketing assistant at uber-liberal P&G. She has been posting up a storm this week, first this (a tv was cut off, so what?), then she made up a bouncy about an Uber driver. Too much.
