Help! I'm Stuck with Fox News

Wally Hickel, former governor of Alaska
Secretary of the Interior for President Nixon

I'm in Anchorage AK and just spent 30 minutes on the internet and phone to cancel one night at Captain Cook Hotel while listening to FOX to get news about Netanyahu election in Israel. 

My husband's medical crisis while on vacation landed us here in Anchorage at Providence Alaska Medical Center. I'm staying at Hickel House, a nice 3-story guest house like Motel 6, provided next door to the hospital by the Sisters of Providence at a reasonable price. 

Funding for this residence was donated by Walter Hickel and his wife Ermalee, who was active in Catholic charities.

Thank you for this guest house costing only $110 per night... But I have no access to MSNBC or CNN in my room. 

MSNBC is listed but the television shows only a message "Premium channels are not available with this package." CNN isn't even on the list. 

The cable provider is "GCI -- Alaska's most advanced network."

It offers peaceful Alaska photos on one channel and many other options: Discovery, History, Hallmark along with game shows, talk shows, PBS, and sports. 

The only news channels listed (besides non-available MSNBC) are FOX, One America, local news channels (mostly talk during the day), and three other semi-news channels KTBY, KYES, and KAKM.

Thus, in order to find breaking news about the election in Israel, I am reduced to listening to FOX. 

Here's what the FOX  guys are talking about:

**Obscene dismissal of Christine Blasey Ford testimony, adulation of Kavanaugh. 

**"Mayor Pete Silent on Horrific Abortion." 

**"Many Dems Find Religion as Election Nears" 

**Some obscure reference to a whistleblower but no explanation of what this is about.

[Note: Yes, THAT whistleblower.  But on September 18-19 on FOX news, I had no way of finding out anything about this news story.]

Joe Biden is routinely referred to as "sleepy, creepy Joe."  And there's no news about the election in Israel.

The main topic of discussion is the NYT review of a book on Kavanaugh's approval for the Supreme Court.  The Times pans the online-only book by Regnery Publishing.

According to FOX, a subsequent charge by a female Yale student is baseless because the victim has no memory of Kavanaugh exposing himself in her face to ridicule her at a party.  She learned it later from others.  

After 20 minutes, FOX mentions that the Yale student was drunk. Thank you--that explains her lack of memory.  Drunk people don't remember things that occurred while they were under the influence. There was an onlooker, Max Steger, willing to testify about Kavanaugh's obscene penis-thrusting--but FOX completely discounts the report of this witness..

   

The FOX focus is "poor Kavanaugh" being subjected to this false testimony. After all, "he's a father of little girls."

I was plowing along stoically, coping with my husband's medical crisis, medical bills, phone calls, 
But what reduced me to tears was trying to cancel the Captain Cook Hotel reservation while listening to Fox News.

No wonder Alaska voted for Trump with this propaganda as its only news source--except for the Anchorage Daily News.  It would take insight to go online and read the forbidden New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and other news sources.

Note: patients in this Catholic hospital had access to both MSNBC and CNN.  But no one at the guest house had access.  Somebody made a decision for FOX only, and no one questioned it.
