Fox News angers McDonald's customer

There's an easy way to solve this.....just take your kids to another restaurant.

Fox News and McDonald's are both magnets for controversy. Both of them have featured prominently in several documentaries, and they both get blood boiling across the country. So put them together, and you're bound to incite arguments.

Proof of that hypothesis came this weekend when self-proclaimed liberal Craig Lechner took his kids to a McDonald's outpost in his home town of Fair Lawn, in northern New Jersey. Fair Lawn-Saddle Brook Patch reports that, after ordering his food, Lechner discovered Fox News was playing on the TV inside the restaurant. Lechner, remembering that the channel had recently showcased a violent suicide, and not wanting to expose his young children to violence, asked the owner of the McDonald's, Sebastian Lentini, to change the channel.

But Lentini refused. He said he was enjoying watching Fox News. So Lechner got angry. He started video-taping his interaction with Lentini. In the resulting video, Lechner again asks Lentini to turn off the TV, noting that the program was discussing war. Then, when Lentini refuses yet again, Lechner says, "I can't wait to put this on The Huffington Post!"

Apparently Lechner complained about the interaction up the chain of command at McDonald's, and was told that TV programming is up to the prerogative of individual franchise owners. They're allowed to play whatever they want -- including (theoretically) pornography!

The liberal can't get the food to go? LOL Sorry, I don't have any sympathy for someone that doesn't use their brain. I know the liberal thinks he is saving the world, but see nobody cares.

Can't liberals just live in peace without trying to stir something up. Okay, we get it you don't like Fox news, I don't either but so what, move on. Get your food to go and leave everyone alone.

Not only this, but aren't most liberals against fast food anyway for making people fat?

There are a lot more worse things in life than Fox News. Just don't watch garbage like Fox News and do your own thing and don't bother anyone else. Done, now the planet is better off.

The last time I was in a McD there were a few screens and all were on different channels, none were on CNN for some weird reason

Around here, CNN is considered boring -- most people don't even pay attention. :laugh:

They play that crap in our McDonald?s also, I just ignore it. Definitely not worth being angry over, if people want to be ignorant then let them.
