Walmart only showing Foxnews in stores today
Time to strike back! Everyone during your lunch break or whatever today, find the closest walmart and either change the channels or unplug the tvs. Then just leave.

Walmart gets my one finger salute today.

3. Yet another good reason
not to shop walmart. I haven't been in one for over a year and find I can live quite well without anything from there.

4. Huh?
There are zillions of Walmarts. Is this a company policy, or just an observation from your early morning shopping?

10. Heard it on CNN
I just switched on the tv and was listening to the morning show, they talked about walmart and how it was going to have the polling results on in their stores, but they were only going to be tuned to foxnews. Needless to say, the CNN crew was cracking jokes.

I will check out my local stores during lunch today and report back.
