Scary hotels. Need boycott

It has been told to this reporter by a reputible source that we have a new enemy to watch.

Here's an item to make your hair curl: a friend of mine manages a hotel in the Woodfin Suites / Chase Suites chain. Perhaps you have seen these hotels. We have one in Emeryville and they are scattered throughout the US. The owner is an arch-conservative who lives in San Diego. He has issued a directive to all Woodfin hotels that they must alter their tv station lineup on all the guest room televisions in their hotels. All news stations except Fox News are to be removed. All tvs are to be set to Fox News unless the customer complains and actually asks for other news stations to be set on their tvs. (The owner's name is Sam Hardage. He's a leading Republican and here's a story about him from 1998 if you're interested: http://www.sandiegometro.com/1998/jul/coverstory.html).
