(no, not me, but certainly a great idea..)
Wherever you go, ask for it to be turned off.
It seems to be on the TV in waiting room after waiting room after waiting room (I've been spending a lot of time in them lately). In my cardiologist's office, Fox TV. I strongly doubt my Dead Head/Nirvana listening, deeply embedded in the research on heart disease doctor is a Fox-head. So, I said to him at the end of my appointment, "You know, in the waiting room you might not want Fox News on the TV, people are here with heart problems and nobody is made happy by that channel." He laughed and said, "That's what's on? I don't pay any attention, wonder who put it on."
I had asked for the remote and turned it off while I was waiting, because it was annoying me.
And, then, I had to get some testing done and was waiting for them to work me in between appointments in the diagnostic center of the hospital for an ultrasound on my femoral artery. Hours passed with soaps on and someone asked to change the channel to the news. The waiting area information volunteer said that they could put on CNN and the persons making the query complained muttering about 'must be a bunch of liberals around here, well, at least it isn't MSNBC'. Then, the remote shows up and the volunteer asks if anyone knows what the channel is for Fox News. I stood up and said to the lot of them, "Please no Fox, please no, all it does is make people unhappy, please no Fox." And I walked to the other side of the waiting area (about 40 feet, big room). They did not put it on Fox, and they didn't like it, "What's with someone who gets upset about what channel the TV is on?" (Not an entirely unfair question, in a way... until you realize that it is the propaganda arm of the political far right, then I think it is a silly question that confirms how ill-informed they are).
So, you can turn off Fox TV wherever you go. Just stand up on your hind legs and ask for the remote. Just ask for the remote.
