One of my BILs told me that his neighbor

[malaise]

told him on Sunday that his wife demanded that they cancel FOX News or she was leaving. Their coverage of Minnesota was her last straw.
The dam is breaking.

1. If it's cable tv she can program a code to block it

I used to block Fox when I had catv. Only I had the code.

That said I'm guessing there are more things going on in this marriage.

2. Politics mashes up more than a few marriages

and not just in the US but I suspect you are correct and they have other issues.

[not fooled]

7. Yeah, a spouse who wants to watch Fox?

Troubling on many levels to the partner living in the real world.

3. Why pay for something you hate?

14. I was in a senior center a couple of years ago and they had fox on and the seniors would get in fights

So the manager blocked fox on their cable channel and things became calm again in that facility. They only show local news now.

17. Fox is part of the package here, so we use the parental block.

It's too dangerous that someone might click on it by accident.

[ToxMarz]

4. Be nice to know how to do that

Never heard of a cable/TV provider that lets you cancel a channel. Pretty much take what they offer or nothing. Fox isn't an addon.

5. That's one reason I don't have cable.

Or satellite.

Or Broadcast television.

The television in our house plays DVDs and a couple of no-advertising streaming services. That's all it does.

8. i cvant ford it nor can i have an antenna.

11. You can't just cancel Fox News

They sell it as a bundle with all the other Fox channels. Sports, entertainment, etc. And even so, the cable company determines the lineup. You can't do it. I've tried.

[TomSlick]

19. There should be a parental block.

[leftieNanner]

21. Interesting idea

But they still get our $$$.

13. My understanding is that cable companies will remove Faux Noise if you insist loudly enough

... but you're still paying for it. They won't take it off your monthly cable fee. Faux Noise gets your money anyway, whether you watch or not. I had Verizon Fios for over 20 years, and I calculated that my $160 monthly fee meant I was paying Faux something like $3 per month.

What really hurts Faux Noise is the fact that so many Americans have just canceled their cable subscriptions altogether. Way fewer subscribers now than 15 or 20 years ago.

That's the impact Faux Noise has had on American television. We can't cancel them specifically, so we're cancelling the entire system. The winners are the providers like YoutubeTV, Prime, Peacock, Hulu, AppleTV, and a bunch of others.

22. Thinking people block it on their TVs, not the provider

Smart TVs have 'parental controls' that can disable selected channels

https://techpenny.com/block-content-smart-tvs/]

For several years now, I have read about people visiting elderly parents who seem overly agitated and angry about 'the news' so they disabled FOX news from the TVs. Suddenly, everybody calmed down and got civil again.

10. The cracks in the dam are showing. He's essentially a bore that

preaches to his blank eyed band of True Believers the same stuff over and over. Usually consisting of "Great" to childish whines about all the non-believers trying to mess up his imaginary triumphs. The audience is getting restless.

[BidenRocks]

12. Set the child safety feature.

Or get divorced.
Fox is heroin to these junkies.
Good luck!

[Wiz Imp]

15. FOX News can't be "cancelled" by itself. If it is part of the bundle of channels you are paying

for, you wil get it. The only way to get rid of it is to cancel that bundle which means removing all the other channels in that bundle as well which probably includes some channels most people would want.

However, I'm pretty sure most cable providers allow you to block individual channels so they can't be viewed by anyone unnless you enter a code to unblock. I know DISH Network had such a feature because I used it. Blocking Fox news meant I never had to see it. I could never even turn it on accidentally.

16. Who wants a mindless, brainwashed, loon for a husband anymore? 😜

[flashman13]

18. Momma or FOX. Could go either way.

A woman of principle.
