Break Room Battle

I find this hilarious. In the factory that I work at there is a break room. In that break room there is a LCD flat screen TV. On that flat screen TV the news is always on. I enjoy having the news on. I wouldn't stay in touch with the daily news if it weren't for the time I clean the break room. But, there is a battle going on around me. Will we watch CNN News or will we watch Fox News? One man is especially vocal about his distaste of Fox News. Every time he comes to the break room he grabs the remote and changes the station to CNN instead of Fox News. Every time he does this he informs me that he hates Fox News. Honestly every time he changes the channel he finds it necessary to tell me that he hates Fox News. Actually one time he came into the break room, changed the channel, told me he hated Fox News, and then proceeded to leave the room. That is right. He had no intention of watching the news at that time, but Fox News bothered him so much that he couldn't stand the TV being tuned to that station. He might be trying to influence his fellow employees. Now the group of people that like Fox News are not as extreme, but they are annoyed by the CNN news. They are also found flipping the remote when the "CNN News Extremist" leaves the break room. Every time I enter the break room I am either greeted by a Fox News newscaster or a CNN newscaster. I personally don't favor a station. But, my factory buddies sure do.

LOL I admire your ability to stay neutral. I would so be a part of the war. I'd even be like the guy who comes in just to change it with no intention of watching. Ah, such things as what you just posted are what makes like interesting and unique for each of us.
