19. I've been asking places with waiting rooms to turn it off since the late 1990s.

Only have gotten pushback from one place in all that time.

However, I will say that I don't ask any more. If the owner is stupid enough to put on a MAGA nooz station in Massachusetts, they deserve a flood of bad Yelp reviews. Which is what I do now. It killed me when my favorite pizza place had it on; I never knew because I always got it delivered, but one day I stopped to pick it up. Saw the Fox News and immediately went home and wrote a scathing Yelp review about how I don't want my hard-earned money supporting MAGA families, employees, and businesses.
