But I think that some more light hearted entertainment might be better, especially in these more challenged times. BBC World news might be a good alternative.

Airport TV stations has a different feel rather than in the comfort of your own home. Airports obvisously have there own "tv frequencies" probably to be as neutral as possible for all people that come through the airports. But still they have a distinctive different vibe than your own home TV. It’s interesting in airports when you wait in the waiting lounges how different tv stations are versus in your own home.

Less bias either way and it actually spends time talking about news, rather than celebrities, politics, the latest "big trial", etc. I vote for BBC.

Terrorist fist jab, anyone? If more airports start adopting Fox News, I would definitely invest in a TV-B-Gone. Of course, the most interesting part of this story is that the airport director commissioned a poll and then IGNORED the results. Then again, I'm sure the director is aware that reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Let us just bully our way past the truth, label people with "agendas" to discredit them, and sweep any debate under the rug. Yes, asking readers for opinions in a debate certainly is bullying (rollseyes). I am surprised you didn't accuse the blogger of being unpatriotic. Go back to your rock!

Anyway, to those who said "turn it off" understand that many travelers, especially business travelers like to know what's going on in the world during their busy busy trips. Or screw them and just put on cartoons for the kids! That's what I'd rather see anyway! Show BBC… world news baby!

I personally like the all-Daily Show/Colbert mix best, if TVs are to be turned on at all. But like HawkinsDale, I'd usually prefer no TV at all. After all, the TVs aren't there for your enjoyment (especially if they're the contracted boxes from CNN Airport Network). They're an advertising delivery medium. That said, boy, this post sure made my e-mail inbox a more interesting place. More later... Some interesting discussion here.
