It gets good reviews, that’s all I know. My problem is that I’d feel terrible every time I needed it and realized that I left it at home. I’m not likely to carry it with me. Maybe that smaller gizmo is better.

NIce! Seems like the same basic idea, with the difference being that the smaller, $3 model just works more or less like a regular remote, while the larger, $15 model can also (supposedly) jam the signal so that no one else can control the TV, and also has a cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs mode where it make the TV do random stuff for a while.
I think the $3 one would suit my purposes, which would basically be to turn off or mute TVs in situations where I am more or less a captive audience, such as waiting rooms. Also, bars that have live music but insist on leaving the annoying TVs playing (usually on mute, but still!) behind or beside the band. That’s disrespectful to the musicians and annoying to me as someone who is there to see the band.
Meanwhile, I couldn’t help but notice that the “frequently bought together” product that it’s paired with is something called “Liquid Ass.” Just for the record, I am DEFINITELY NOT recommending that product for use at town-hall meetings with lying, health-insurance-stealing GOP Congressmen!

This thread is amazing me. Are people not aware that Fox news has been the standard feed inside government agencies for decades? Ask anybody you might know who works in the nuts and bolts of one of them. If there’s a TV on, it will be on Fox news. But then that’s true in many non government environments as well. The thing is a toxic drug and a lot of the government has been addicted for a long time.

I think Trump’s the first no-news-is-better-than-bad-news politician.
Indeed. I live in a gerrymandered GOP district. Our rep voted for Trumpcare.
Fox is almost universally on TVs in restaurants and bars.
Some exceptions in our doctor’s offices.
Ugh. We avoid such places whenever we can.
Maybe DT will invent an executive order to allow all Faux Noos employees to engage in sexual misconduct 24/7 ?
I think that you will find that Republican employees want to watch it All the time, like the ‘president’. It’s a crutch, and confirms specific conservative insanity.

It shows the damage that Trump has already done that it’s so easy to think that a reputable (or formerly reputable) agency like FDA is lying.

Wow, just wow.
Late night talk show host Stephen Colbert’s controversial joke about President Trump drew the attention of the Federal Communications Commission. The agency received “a number” of complaints about Colbert’s commentary earlier in the week, according to the FCC’s chief.

Fox News is changing, donnie. What on earth will you do if they actually start doing real reporting? Turn off the news all together?
Beany and the Monstrous Monster…
Wow. Whoever sent that original message to CBER researchers is illiterate.
Have you been to the dentist lately, like in the past ten years? The stupid TVs are everywhere.
Those of you who are responsible for this, here’s a message: We don’t like it!
Just to be clear, PBS is only somewhat funded by federal funds, and C-SPAN is funded entirely by the cable industry, not by the government.

Well, I see Hühnerzüchter Bannon has found something to do between shots of booze.
But I hear he’s in the doghouse. Ivanka took away his office remote.
Oh, please. It was bleeped out. I couldn’t even tell what he said but assumed something along the lines of “dick holster” or “fuck holster.” How would those dirty-minded conservatives have known what he said?
I guess Colbert should welcome the publicity.

“FDA Denies Trump Admin Directed Agency To Display Fox News On Its TVs.”
Fake government action (FDA Denies…) about a fake news station. Wow!

Shouldn’t the entire nation get on the same page. If we’re to have a dictator, we must understand all of his state-sponsored propaganda. It’s how it works and straight out of the crayon and water color edition of lil Donnie’s Manifesto. I hear he’s even thinking of printing the lil Donnie’s Manifesto with words sometime in the future.
