Rec Center Puts TV Channel Lineup to Vote

An Ann Arbor, Michigan recreation center has decided to let members vote on which channels will be shown on televisions throughout the gym after some gym users complained this past winter that Fox News was aired on too many of the TVs. 

Meri Lou Murray Recreation Center members Dave and Sue Weber were two of those who had complained about the decision to air Fox News, saying that a county-run facility should not show what they considered to be an offensive news program. They referred to closed-caption blocks with language such as “Young women aren’t capable of voting” and “We have enough illegals here, we don’t need more.” After unsuccessful attempts to get the facility to also air programs such as MSNBC that provide a more liberal viewpoint, the Webers petitioned to have all partisan political news programming taken off of TVs at the recreation center.
