Bottom line is that there's nothing to be done here. A smart property owner ought to poll all guests, figure out their political leanings and only show channels with like views.
I completely disagree - you can have news channels on that are nowhere near as strongly left or right leaning as MSNBC and Fox News. It's not like every channel has a very strong political leaning, just these two. You do not need to poll your guests, just put on something that is not one of these two contentious channels. I mean unless you put on "Russia Today" you probably are going to get a more moderate/centrist network. Just my opinion.
