Device that blocks Fox News from television set.<br><br><blockquote>(March 25) -- It's not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News. The creator of the "Fox Blocker" contends the channel is not news at all. Kimery figures he's sold about 100 of the little silver bits of metal that screw into the back of most televisions, allowing people to filter Fox News from their sets, since its August debut.<br><br>Formerly a registered Republican, even a precinct captain, Kimery became an independent in the 1990s when he said the state party stopped taking input from its everyday members.<br><br>Kimery now contends Fox News' top-level management dictates a conservative journalistic bias, that inaccuracies are never retracted, and what winds up on the air is more opinion than news. "I might as well be reading tabloids out of the grocery store," he says. "Anything to get a rise out of the viewer and to reinforce certain retrograde notions." </blockquote><br><br><br>
Good one.<br><br>I find it funny that TV companies and/or cable companies have to provide (or are willing to provide) a channel blocker. I mean...heck, who listens to parents anymore? <br><br>
To be honest, it seems really useless. Most setups can just disable certain channels. For example, even though it comes in the subscription you can't watch the Golf Channel, QVC, CMT and a few other gems on our television, because I disabled them.<br><br>
