Lots of people in that Tucker Carlson thread (and many other places) say “and FOX News Channel is played on military bases or VA clinics 24/7.”

Anecdotally as only one veteran, I have never seen FOX News played in VA hospitals or clinics, nor on military bases.

For one thing, if you’re at work at a military base, you’re supposed to be working, not watching television.

As for VA clinics, I’ve asked at Cheyenne VAMC about that very question, since I’ve never seen FOX (or any real news channel) played in a VA clinic. Doctors and nurses have told me that news (particularly FOX) is not good for blood pressure and such.

The only “waiting room” I’ve ever even seen a TV in, turned on, and tuned to regular cable or broadcast television have been the ones in auto repair shops or tire shops. Never in a doctor or dentist. Most times it wasn’t the news on either. Last one I remember for sure was a Steve Harvey hosted Family Feud, time before that Family Guy was on.
