I just complained to a Macy's manager about having Fox News on their TVs
   
I was shopping on Saturday in a San Diego Macy's and noticed that outside the fitting rooms were small TV monitors and a seating area for -- I guess -- bored husbands waiting for their wives to finish shopping. Fox News was on. I changed the channel to a game show. Apparently, it was programmed so those were the only two choices. I went into a different department and there it was again. I changed it again.

I didn't bother a saleswoman about it; there were so few on the floor anyway, and they don't have any authority. This morning I called and spoke with a manager who both agreed with me that it was propaganda, and also said she would tell the store manager about my complaint and try to make sure that Fox News was taken off the channel selection.

Every little bit helps, I hope.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Yeah, right! Why is it they think FOX is propoganda. Anyone ever see them furnish proof of this? Seems to me they report the same crap as all the other news stations, they just don't do it with the same admiration of the Messiah like the others.

Anytime Orielly or Hannity is wrong they run disclaimers. These pussies just can't handle the truth about "dear leader".

The upstairs part of our Macy's has electronics but all for the kitchen or deck.  I have never seen a tv in Macy's.

I have a granddaughter named Macy.  Every Thanksgiving I congratulate her on her wonderful parade.  Now I'll thank her for tuning in to FOX News.

Like being in the Atlanta airport and asking that CNN be taken off the concourse monitors
You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

The Macy's near me has TV's (usually playing Foxnews) by the dressing rooms.  I suspect that it is so the husbands have a place to sit and wait while their wives try on clothes.

What? No TV's set to CNN for the husbands to watch while their DUmmie wife & kids shoplift?

I'm guessing, even if this is remotely true the manager just agreed with her so she'd go away. Bet next time it goes to Macy's for designer feline wear FOX is on the TV. Just how the hell does she afford to shop at Macy's in this lousy Obama economy anyway?

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

   I'm guessing that a wise person figured bored husbands would rather watch Megyn Kelly or Gretchen Carlson on Fox than Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

I'm guessing that Rachel Maddow would like to watch Megyn Kelly or Gretchen Carlson too. With lust in its eye.

Megyn Kelly went to law school not more than two miles from where I work.  I wouldn't want to be on her bad side.  Same thing with former Miss USA Gretchen Carlson.
