Seems that the new fav at the local VA center is One America News, a real propaganda channel. Don’t know where it came from or who is financing it but it is a real network for right wing disinformation.

I was thinking the same thing. It’s not haven’t been in a waiting area in which CNN wasn’t playing, but there are always things to do besides watch it. Most airports have a bookstore or newsstand, but I realize that is probably not attractive to him. That also assumes that you don’t want to walk around before having to sit still for the flight.
This really strikes me as his taking any opportunity to insult Don Lemon. You can imagine him hoping that Donnie was watching and maybe–just maybe–will tweet about it. A tweet from Donnie must be like a Pulitzer for Fox and Friends.

For the sake of the young women of Israel, let’s hope Pete can keep it in his pants while visiting. (Who’s the moron?)
Hegseth went on to say that it wasn’t all bad. He was also forced to get a Cinnabon and shoeshine at the airport, too.

Look, Lemon may be a lot of things but a moron isn’t one of them. Given the source, it’s a pretty safe bet that the word choice was racist code intended to put down an “uppity” black man. Wonder who made that sort of thing commonplace again? Hmmmm…

I’m usually walking, pulling suitcase behind trying to get in some mileage before the big sit.

My first thought too…Faux News running at DMV, dentist’s office, etc. where you can’t find a corner to not hear.

When we are waiting in the airport, in the main waiting areas or in the bar, my spouse and I have no qualms in asking the channels be changed off of FOX to CNN so, as she so ‘eloquently’ says, ‘so we can watch the News.’
80% of the time, they change at least one of the TV’s over to CNN.
Just ask. It’s fun!

I can’t figure out how Koalas survived the Great Flood that covered the Earth. I never read that Noah ventured to Australia to retrieve a mating pair of them. What gives?

We love DL at my house. We pretend he’s French and call him Doh Lemoh (Lemieux ??). I don’t know why - maybe the Baton Rouge connection.

To be fair, he once opined on the air as to whether something ‘supernatural’ may have happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and reported on this very site. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/cnn-don-lemon-missing-malaysia-jet-supernatural
…consider the source. Honest to God.

I thought that was gutsy. He went where others did not. It was a risk, but at the time nobody knew what had happened and that particular explanation was being discussed so he covered it. He didn’t say he believed it.

Forced to watch??? Where is this re-education camp airport terminal?
Seriously, though, I sort of enjoy my airport time as long as it doesn’t turn into some sort of overnight delay from hell. Usually, it’s a good chance to just sit and read something, while there’s nothing else that I need to be doing or realistically can be doing. A guilt-free reading zone of sorts.
