Hi, 1st time poster here....Activist Idea!

When you visit an establishment that only serves Fox.....why not request a change to MSNBC?
If not, ask that an alternative news channel, like MSNBC be accommodated.

If not- In the "Fox is Killing US" app*, hold the proprietor accountable to the propaganda that he is allowing for public saturation.

* Activist Idea. I suspect that this would be a piece of cake to create..... Maybe a DU app?

Haven't seen Fox anywhere in years. But this is California, and a generally liberal part. It would be bad business to fly that flag around here.

I once let the manager of a Bank of America know that it made me feel like entering a Nazi-held territory, and that I was going to have to find another branch.

He relented. CNN the next day.
