Fox News STORE? Did my eyes fail me? In DFW airport...

[CurtEastPoint]

I was hurrying buy but I felt a wave of nausea hit me and looked over and there it was.
I would be humiliated to be seen entering such a place.

[pepperbear]

1. yep.

[drm604]

14. What do they sell there?

T-shirts and coffee cups with the logo? Why would anyone where a news station's logo? Are these stores actually profitable?

[tarheelsunc]

27. I've been to several airports with CNBC stores

They always sell some light snacks and drinks, plus newspapers and magazines. Not sure if it was because I was hungry every time I passed one and wasn't focused on anything except food, but I never really saw any CNBC-branded merchandise. Of course, this is CNBC and not FOX, so who knows with them.

[drm604]

29. Hmm. Maybe they just license their logo to general merchandise stores.

I wonder why they're only, or mostly, in airports?

[Javaman]

33. Pure 100% bullshit in a bag. LOL nt

[Yavin4]

38. The sell falafels

but for chrissakes don't buy one.

[TexasTowelie]

2. I'll never fly again.

I said that 10 years ago when I was felt up three separate times by TSA at the West Palm Beach airport flying back to DFW. Having a Fox News store in the airport makes that it a clincher!

[Skittles]

3. WTF; it's not like they are hardup for bullshit in fucking TEXAS

I'm just sayin'..................

[LuvNewcastle]

4. These are strange times.

I never thought I'd see the day when they would open a store dedicated to media propaganda but here we are.

[Populist_Prole]

5. I saw one in Atlanta

I just waited and looked at the people that went in and out of there: My stereotypes were correct after all.

[narnian60]

20. Hahaha.

[DFW]

6. We are not the only airport that has that dubious honor.

Fortunately, I can state that I rarely if ever have seen a customer inside one of those shops.

[DollarBillHines]

28. But DFW has Pappadeaux's

best fucking airport food in the US.

Great bar, too.

[DFW]

35. There has to be SOME reason to be happy about visiting home!

Actually Dallas is FULL of great places to eat.

You don't even have to carry a concealed weapon to enjoy them, although some of the locals aren't aware of that.

[DollarBillHines]

36. The world at large is woefully unaware of the cuisine scene in Dallas/Ft Worth

I would like to come out for a couple of weeks and eat at three different restaurants a day and every meal would be sublime.

[DFW]

41. Fine with me

It means that every time I'm back home, I can get a table when I want, where I want, and not have to worry about having to mortgage the house to pay for the meal.

[jberryhill]

7. Not a bad place for shower falafels, tho

[progressoid]

8. Fuck it, we'll do it live!

[pinboy3niner]

9. Respect...

[jberryhill]

32. How'd he get there? Who put him there?

[Angry Dragon]

10. They have already sold their souls

they had to find something else to sell

[mac56]

11. MSP has one also.

[OneGrassRoot]

22. Yep, I think that's where I saw it the first time. Yuck. :( n/t

[RandiFan1290]

12. Texas

nuff said

[Paladin]

17. Over 3.2 Million Texans Voted For Obama.

And there are Fox News stores in other states. Your blanket prejudice does you no credit.

[RandiFan1290]

19. oh relax

I know Texans here are over sensitive. I live in Florida you guys should be able to handle it by now

[Paladin]

23. If You're A Florida DUer.....

....you ought to know better than to dump on entire states, given the kind of idiotic state and regional trashing that is allowed to go on around here. Why the hell should we have to "handle it by now"? It's tough enough trying to bring about change a red state---why should we meekly agree to be treated like lower caste trash by our supposed political allies? "Handle it" my ass. "Relax"? Not bloody likely.........

[RandiFan1290]

24. When it happens to Florida

no one cares. That is my point. I don't see anyone trying to defend Florida when it gets trashed around here.

Get over your silly little state lines. They are imaginary.

[DollarBillHines]

30. "Get over your silly little state lines. They are imaginary. "

Not if you are Texan.

When you cross the Sabine, the Rio Grande, or the Red, the world changes just a bit.

Texas is Texas...

The rest...

is just The Rest.

I split my time between Wine Country and NYC.

There ain't no Texas in either place.

[narnian60]

21. I'm with ya, Paladin.

[mrsadm]

13. Bill Oreilly bobbleheads?

[annabanana]

25. redundant. . . . . .n/t

[WinkyDink]

15. When it comes to commerce, Rupert Murdoch is dumb like a ....................

[SemperEadem]

16. they're in a number of airports

I forgot where I was this past summer, but I was flying either to or from the west coast and I remember passing a fux noose store in the airport.

[maryellen99]

34. They have a CNN one at DTW nt

Plus they also have a CNBC one as well.

[bulloney]

18. These stores should be easy to find in the airports.

Walk around until you smell it and turn right and walk until you step in it.

[Chorophyll]

26. Yep. You said it.

[graham4anything]

31. Drive cross country, listen to radio and guess who owns that on the hour minute news?

Propaganda
24/7/365
they pay for that exposure

same things for default stations in bars/sports bars/restaurants/diners/hotel lobby

you enter and its there.

Some will change it if asked, but the damage is done-most don't bother but if there is something of interest on screen, guess what viewpoint the viewer will hear?

One needs to (though you can't avoid airports if traveling) but in places where at least the owner would think you are coming back, make them know you will never come back because fox was on.

In our area there are lots of diners. One plays Fox and won't turn it off. Guess who doesn't give his money to? Me. Their loss. And their food wasn't bad, and service ok.
But why should I sit there with that staring me in the face?

and back in 2008 after election, the idiot owner had the audacity to say to me, well you won, America lost. Only one who lost was the owner not having my business, and anyone who I told whom I could convince not to go there.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

37. In New York City...

At Rockefeller Center, there is a huge "NBC Experience" store with tons of shirts, coffee mugs, etc with NBC logos and logos from particular shows.

[hrmjustin]

39. What the hell would they sell there?

[bamacrat]

40. No, there really is one in DFW.

There is also one in Houston's airport. Oh Texas, if you were any dumber they would call you Alabama.

[11 Bravo]

42. Fine, but Southern States has a much higher quality of horse and bull shit ...

for all your fertilizer needs.
