There is a reason all military base televisions are tuned to FOX News

[SHRED]

It has been in preparation for the military coup we are witnessing right now.

1. I think so, but the real problem is Kelly is not a fan, that I know of, of Putin

So this coup may end up in a nuclear war.

Lets talk about people like Kelly, Mattis and how they view Putin, do we know?



ps i know this is all real bad, but thank GOODNESS we dodged the bullet of ...ooops....ooopps

2. Hate radio, too.

The dems have done nothing on this issue for decades & continue to ignore it. For supposedly being the smart party, they are in a seriously bad place.

4. I worked on an Army base after 9/11

All the tv's were tuned to faux then, W was in the white house.

5. Fox pays for this as a service.

They supply the Flat Screen and it has to be tuned to Fox. Tons of Offices and Waiting rooms use the same service.

8. wow! I never heard about that - do you have a link to reporting about it?

9. Sorry I don't.

Just happened to ask the fellow installing these in a Office Building on my Business to Business Sales Territory.

Asked about this at our Dentist Office in February,yes,the Panel was supplies by Fox Entertainment,it runs a loop of certain Commercial Ads including his Dentist Services and then Fox . We complained about the damn groan of Fox,so now when we come in the door,the Receptionist kills the TV and replaces it with back to the sixties music. Understand it is marketed like the old Muzak Ads were piped into Offices. Some were paid subscription and others were free depending on content.

10. Given that at FNC launch in 1996 Murdoch paid cable companies

to carry the new network, it's most likely a relatively minor investment to furnish a TV screen.

In the normal course of business, cable outfits like Time Warner pay content providers like CNN or MTV for the right to air their programs. But Murdoch turned the business model on its head. He didn’t just give Fox News away – he paid the cable companies to air it. To get Fox News into 25 million homes, Murdoch paid cable companies as much as $20 a subscriber. “Murdoch’s offer shocked the industry,” writes biographer Neil Chenoweth. “He was prepared to shell out half a billion dollars just to buy a news voice.” Even before it took to the air, Fox News was guaranteed access to a mass audience, bought and paid for. Ailes hailed Murdoch’s “nerve,” adding, “This is capitalism and one of the things that made this country great.”

11. That was before digital, when the number of cable channels was severely limited.

With the huge increase in cable channels made possible by digital technology, cable companies now pay for Fox, just as they do the other networks. Fox gets a portion of your cable subscription whether you watch them or not.

That's one reason I don't subscribe to cable or satellite television. My wife and I don't watch broadcast television either. Our television plays movies, commercial free, that's all it does.

We do have Netflix, but we also watch DVDs we find in thrift stores, and movies we rent from Redbox.
