I know they were infesting larger airports at least as early as 2006.

I’d pay for their crap in Ameros.

…the hell?
I can’t believe this is a real thing.

They’ve been at Washington Dulles International Airport since at least 2004.

The power of the free market compels you!
We supply, you demand.

Another link and a Yelp review.

Unhealthy snacks. Patriotic sweatshirts. Trashy magazines and Hannity’s oh-so-slappable mug on the plasma screens.

@freelancer: I wonder if that’s close to the Larry Craig Memorial Bathroom?

Hey, Fox knows damned well that its audience is made up of suckers.

Do they carry the computer chips for your brain?

Ditto Houston (IAH). It is just like any other airport conveneience store except fox news is blaring from half a dozen flat screens and there is a big scrolling banner ad thingy…

My guess is that they over charge for everything and blame the high prices on the high inflation Obama has caused.

I’ve seen them in the DC airport. Maybe one or two others in the last year or so. Didn’t DC also have an MSNBC themed news stand? Or maybe CNN? Equal representation…
I’m actually sworn off all cable “news” programming two years and counting now though, so I could care less. A pox on all of them, I say. They’re all humbug.

Of course. That’s where I go to get all my Alwaleed bin Talal action figures. Why? Where do you get yours?
Mr. F.L. Atulent
speaking of fox news, a guy at my gym (local community rec center) accused “liberals” of “censorship” because “they” are always changing the channel away from fox news on the tvs.
I was turning off the glenn beck show and he objected even though he was 20 ft away using the free weights and not watching the tv when I went to change it. I asked him if he even knew what the word censorship means. he looked at me like I was crazy…

“The Simpsons” comes through again. (Spotted on Sully’s blog)

Fox News Stores, you say?
Maybe they stock heirloom seeds, gold bullion, and Depends?

Somebody has to balance the liberal Starbucks chain with its softly lit wooden-ish decor and its fancy elitist baristas.

@CalD: This is such a simple answer for heartburn. Just don’t watch any of them. That’s what I do. It’s very freeing.
I get my news from the net and my local daily newspaper.

DFW, too, for at least the last year or so. In the “C” terminal it’s right next to a 15-20 foot screen in the concouse showing CNN.

@Mr. F.L. Atulent:
Any time I see FOX News on and I’m a paying customer, I ask that they change it to ESPN. Partly, as a general rule for my own sanity. Partly, because ESPN will actually mention shit I care about.

Real Americans need a Patriotic alternative to your SociaIist, liberally-biased Nazi “Book Stores”. Did you know anybody can walk into a “Book Store” and buy books about homosexuals and atheists? That’s not the America I grew up in.
El Cid
@Chyron HR: You have to be careful about any place which has so much writing in it.

I saw the Fox News store and the MSNBC News store in the Atlanta airport a couple of months ago. Books, newspapers, magazines, cold drinks, candy. I didn’t notice any Fox News paraphanalia, but I didn’t go in. No Hannity beer cozys, no Glenn Beck candy cigarettes. Not even the new O’Reilly line of bathroom accessories. Just books and stuff.
Jacquelyn
It probably happened when there stopped being Fox “News” Stories!

@Joseph Nobles: You missed the american flag toilet paper … .
curious
these stores nicely complement respected opinionist bill o’reilly’s nightly sales pitch for patriotic hats and “we say ‘merry christmas!'” bumper stickers.
MoeLarryAndJesus
There’s a huge sale this week on scuba gear and dildos.
Ash Can
@Elizabelle: I’m sure they could make a fortune on celebrity newsreader/pundit blow-up dolls.
@cermet: It’s on the same shelf as the Constitution/Bill of Rights toilet paper.

There are BBC stores in Australia. Maybe Murdoch got the idea from them?

ABC I mean.
Joseph Nobles
@cermet: I didn’t go into the MSNBC store, either. ;-)

@Pangloss: Sadly mine has been switched to overload

@Zandar:
Is that anything like the scene in The Exorcist where the two priests shout “The power of Christ compels you!” while the Linda Blair’s head rotates 360 degrees?

Sorry sorry sorry! I cringe every time I see it. I have no idea when it cropped up. One trip to the airport, it wasn’t. Next trip, it was. I have never gone in for fear that my brains will fall out upon entrance.
