On Fox News this morning it is being reported that the VA in Fresno has removed the Fox Channel from the TVs at their locaton. Apparently the crooked management there dont like the fact that Fox News has outted all the criminal activity at the VA. IMO this is such a petty act and political sleaze at its finest. Further IMO we need a special prosecuter to investigate all VA location management and fire all managers that are involved in cover up lies, and the taking of bonus money. They then should face trial and if found guilty should be jailed. They should also forfeit all rights to any retirement pay. There should not be any reward for violating the public trust.
The actual story. http://www.kmph.com/story/25775947/...fox-news-channel-from-waiting-room-television I find it amazing that folks think that there is some kind of right to have a news crew in a hospital waiting room. It is a hospital. With patients. People who are sick, injured, and the like.
I fully support this. Mobs of reporters do not belong in a hospital. Patients do not need the harassment of those selfish people dogging for spin.
tram So----------------to support the Obama admin, you dont want the truth to be told? I also assume you support the lying VA admin that took bonus money by lying on reports. Can I also assume that you dont think the death of a few old vets are too big of a price to pay if we keep this scandal quiet to make the Obama admin look good? - - - Updated - - - BTW is is not "mobs of reporters" it is just the vets in for medical care that are being denied watching Fox New on TV
I do not support the Obama administration. However, I am far more even handed about things than you. A hospital is a private property, and certain rights do not trump private property. That means reporters just do not get to invade your property just because. And you need to post links to the articles your making claims about.
tram A VA hospital is NOT private property, it is public property. That means that the reporter has all the right in the world to be there. In fact if a reporter roots out information that public servants are doing something all the way from shady to down right criminal, more power to them. Lastly you claim you dont support the Obama admn, but you sure seem to be doing a good job of it. If you dont support the Obama admin, why would you be against a reporter doing a new report on just how sleazy and vindictive the VA management is in Fresno?
No, it is not public property. It is not open to public access. Plus, it is only for veterans. I'm not preventing a reported from reporting a story. I think if they want to gather facts they should do it elsewhere and leave the patients in peace. And I have a strong distrust about the news media. They lie about everything and constantly use sensationalism rather than the facts in order to purposefully incite people to sell more news.
tram VA hospitals are government owned. That makes the public property. It was tax payer money that built them, not private funds. The point here remains that the management of the Fresno VA hospital is being vindictive ***holes, because they dont like the fact that Fox news has rooted out criminal activity. Among other things that what a free press is expected to do.
