Well, found out who was turning off CNN in the work kitchen.

[smirkymonkey]

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).

1. You should have asked her to explain why CNN is fake.

I'm sure you'd get an interesting answer.

I would have told her that I'm watching that, even if I wasn't.

6. Because her Dear Leader says so. 1 came so close to saying something, but

I held back. And I was watching it. 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.

2. at least she did not put on fux gnewz. teevee gnewz IS BS.

5. Fortunately we don't have Fox, which is good, because then I would be the one

turning off the TV.

3. That was rude on two counts....

1. Turning it off without even asking if anyone was watching it.
2. Giving her political opinion in a public area when she wasn't asked.

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.

7. Funny, rightwingers are always willing to make a scene, and know we liberals are too politically

correct to do the same. That's why we get rolled over. She seemed more than willing to make a scene.

[BigmanPigman]

11. With the moron in office now they feel even more empowered to

be openly hateful, uncivilized and outright vulgar. I have never seen such open and joyous hostility in my life.

[smirkymonkey]

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.

[AJT]

15. I know that "they go low we go high" is the right thing to do

but sometimes I wish I could do the wrong thing.

[Cha]

9. That's a brainless conjob follower

for ya.

[Cha]

8. And, that's how the idiot in the wh affects his

brainwashed cult.

I can imagine how pissed you were, smirky. I probably wouldn't have said anything, either, though.. in a work environment like that.

[smirkymonkey]

14. I know, I wouldn't but they don't seem to have a problem with it. I hope someday she comes

up 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!

[Cha]

16. That's it, smirky.. they're their own

worst enemies. We don't have to say a word.

hanging there, friend

[HipChick]

10. I hide the remote...

and use an app on my smart phone to control the TV...none of the dinosaurs ther can figure out how to control the TV yet..

[BigmanPigman]

12. Man, I am glad you are on our side. Can you give me tech lessons?
