Last Wednesday I took off for San Jose, California on a work excursion. While travelling I began to notice the trend that left leaning MSM propaganda is everywhere.
Over the last three years, I have probably been on about 40 different business trips and stayed in dozens of different hotels. While on all these trips I can conclude the following.
1) The TV station of choice for displaying in American airports is CNN.
and
2) The newspaper that inevitably sits on my hotel room doorstep each morning is USA Today.
This doesn’t usually irk me until I sat down for my 3 hour layover in Toronto, looked up and saw that the Greater Toronto Airport Authority has partnered up with CBC to propagandize our travellers.
Maybe the fact that I saw as many people on laptops as I did watching the TVs was a good sign of the way things are moving in the world.
If anyone out there knows what is on other Canadian airport monitors, please feel free to comment. Since most of my travel was to the US, I am not as familiar with other Canadian airports outside of the TV in the smoking lounge at the Ottawa airport which was flexible. (I would consistently change the station to CTV newsnet whenever I had a chance)
As an aside, on this trip I got to run into Tim Powers, the Conservative pundit who is on Mike Duffy Live a couple of times a week and on CFRA weekly. I took a few minutes to say hi and let him know I enjoyed watching him spar with the other party pundits.

Not an airport, but I’ve noticed in BMO (at least in Peterborough) show a TV with City Pulse 24 on.

If the propaganda is left-leaning in U.S. airports especially, it’s because word’s out Murdock’s powerful media machine is behind a Clinton presidency.
All stats indicate Americans are opposed to both traditional parties and, of course, the Diebolt electronic voting machine with its paperless trail is largely in disrepute. Americans no longer trust the voting process, nor see legitimate leadership on the horizon.
It’s particularly ironic that CNN’s now flogging the Foley scandal involving power preying on pages when the former Clinton administration’s antics included power preying on borderline teenage female and the fiasco was sole media pre-occupation while terrorists planned and succeeded with 9/ll attack.
I think the public overall, both in Canada and U.S. are picking up the ‘trained seals act’ of the talking heads just doing their time for their paycheques.
Way I see it Americans have two viable options for next leadership, Al Gore or Joe Lieberman as independent.
Many elements of the American economy and our own are now performing at Third World levels — inadequate wages and benefits, unaffordable and unattainable housing. All political parties will address this at next elections or their dead in the water with voters.
Part of election platforms will include putting corporatists, real estate industry, banking, et. al on centre stage as they collude with gov’t policies to address citizen issues which are rapidly gaining emergency status.
Very thoughtful site you have here. Will drop by again especially to study your past entries.
Priority issues should be reworked often on blogosphere for good of electorate.

I believe it’s actually a specialty CNN-derived channel which is typically shown at many airports, with special sensitivity toward air travel news.

I’m not aware of other news networks providing a similar Airport service.
