It’s time to change the channel.
Recently, there’s been a shift in political bias in the lobby of Harwood Center. And it’s unbalanced. By deciding to switch from CNN to only FOX News, you are not considering your diverse tenants' interests in objective global, national and local news. Please return the lobby monitors to any other station. While we prefer CNN, any one will do. Seriously. Local. Entertainment. Anything.

Make Fox Remove "News" from their Title

The silence from building management is frustrating but I am not surprised. Every time I walk through that lobby and see the same channel playing I am reminded why this matters. I am still pushing for a meeting to discuss why they continue to alienate so many of us.

CNN was a near neutral news source. It is inappropriate for the building's owners to attempt to influence tenants' thinking by forcing us to hear right-oriented political viewpoints portrayed as "news."
I previously complained to building management about the switch to Fox News -- which is justifiably perceived by many to be sexist, racist, and divisive. Personally, I find it offensive to be forced to watch a network where women were routinely sexually harassed and demeaned. Common areas should be free from the polarizing viewpoints that Fox is famous for. CNN, a music station, cooking channel, or sports channels would be more appropriate.
Perhaps you of the building management feel that a majority of your tenets (and our guests/clients) are too dang liberal, and thus could deserve to be shaken from our "Mainstream Media" echo chamber with a strong morning dose of FOX News. Or maybe Anderson Cooper gives you the heebie jeebies. Whatever, I'm game. I'm open to other points of view, so why don't we try and land on a news channel more within the realm of journalistic objectivity, as opposed to outright lies and racist/sexist propaganda? How about BBC or NHK? Oh, and f you choose RT or One America News, then we'll know you're just trolling us.
Let's watch something a little more serious and trustworthy than Fox News, like a 24/7 loop of Teletubbies.
I'm not sure that Fox is the best content supporting the interest of the building or the Harwood brand.
Would that be the FAKE NASA channel? (The one with the moon landing.)
Everytime I see the Fox on in the lobby I get worried that my father-in-law is coming for a business lunch. Don't scare me like that.

Wanted to thank you for offering guests and tenants news in the Harwood lobby . During this time in our nations history, there feels like a great divide is developing in our country. To help minimize this divide, would it be possible to keep the news more neutral. Fox News tends to see the news from the far right perspective, which can be offensive for many guests and tenants. I know the Harwood Center wants to be a place of inclusion and not a place a division. Thanks again for all the good you provide.
