Skokie Car Dealer Bans Cable News
Prompted by the polarization of partisan politics, a local Subaru dealer has set up new waiting room rules.

SKOKIE, IL — After an argument between customers at a car dealership that began when one asked to change the channel to Fox News, the owner has instituted a ban on any of the three largest cable news networks being shown in his business.
Ever since, the two TVs in the waiting room of the Evanston Subaru have signs notifying customers that "until the political climate cools down we will not allow viewing of MSNBC, CNN of Fox News."
"It got ugly," owner Rob Paddor told WGN. "I realize politics is politics. Let them watch a cooking show. Let them watch Animal Planet."
