Just an obervation- when I walk into any business and they have FOX News on the TV in the business, it really makes me question whether or not I want to do business with them. That tells me this business is owned or managed by somebody that hates our President and is on the far right wing nutcase fringe. I usually go ahead, buy what I want, and leave. But I do think about it but until this week never said anything.
I took my nephew to the dentist and the dentist had FOX News playing on the TV in the waiting room. A waiting room is not like a store where I can be and out quickly. It is a place where I am forced to wait for long periods of time to see the dentist (or doctor). I was a bit offended and I told the receptionist after 10 minutes "I don't mind waiting but I would rather not be subjected to right wing racism and ranting while I am waiting". I asked if the channel could be changed and, to my surprise, she handed me the DirecTV remote and told me to put it on what I wanted!
Well beings there were 2 other people in the waiting room, I did not choose the Speed Channel but I did change it to CNN Headline News. I think everybody appreciated that! BTW I know I mistyped dentist but I cannot edit the headline.
It probably roots out the non-payers, truth be told. lol
Manuel Noriega came out of his hole after being subjected to days and days of AC/DC and Guns N' Roses. Funny how offensive noise can root out the non-desirables lol.

You are overthinking the situation Kev. #1) You cant let that bother you to the point you would change dentists. #2) you do not know if the dentist is a wingnut Obama hater. How can you jump to that conclusion over the station the waiting room TV is on?
Maybe another patient put it on?
Anyway,Here is a story about a Doctor who openly is against Obamacare:

That's doin' it. I've changed the channel off Faux News myself at the local hospital. Nobody appeared to be watching it, and there were no complaints when I changed it..
I'm with you, I don't want to be subjected to a bunch of RW hate mongering when I'm trying to take care of business.
and nobody else should be subjected to leftwing propaganda and hate while they are waiting either. The world doesn't revolve around you left wing nuts.

Sounds like your unhealthy political opinions have influenced you to the point of being socially dysfunctional. Might want to have a long hard think about your attachment emotionally to political issues.

It is possible another patient changed it but it is DirecTV and you have to use the remote to change the channel so the receptionsit would have had to give the remote to somebody as she did me. Maybe she did, I don't know but that could be dangerous in a waiting room with kids! If it were mine, it would locked on Headline News all the time.
As for the Dentist both of them (he and she) are great dentist and work well with kids. After our old dentist (RIP Dr Bell) died, it took us forever to find another that the kids were comfy with.
We had a dentist who would play Rush while drilling your teeth. After sitting through a couple of sessions like that we informed him we wouldn't be back and why. He blamed it on the office help and had the channel changed on the stop. We've been back many times since and the radio channel remains bipartisan.
It's not unusual where I live for employers to force their employees and/or customers to listen to Fox all day long. When we go in the same business twice and hear a Fox talk show, we don't go back a third time. Places that depend on the public for their incomes shouldn't offend half their customers---whether right wing or left.

And this is all that matters when it comes to which dentist to use ... not his/her political persuasion.
