Hotel Chain Yanks CNN From Channel Lineup
Source: KXMA.com Guests at one local hotel who switch on the TV in search of the latest news no longer have CNN as an option.
The Stoney Creek Inn, 1100 Imperial Ave., in Rothschild, North Dakota, has dropped the 24-hour news channels CNN and CNN Headline News from its basic cable offerings.
Tony Magro, 76, of Barrington, Ill., stayed at the inn Monday night and said he was told by a receptionist that the hotel chain�s corporate office had issued a letter calling for the removal of the channels because CNN aids terrorists.
