For example, they will not show a plane crash on the airport feeds.
They show live programming, you got anything to back this up?
I know the commercials and weather is different in the airport.

I hate it when people demand that they not be subjected to anything they don't like no matter where they go.

Consider your audience. The Poli Board watches more cable news (and complains about more cable news) than any group I've ever seen. Old people man.
It's crazy.

About CNN Airport
quote:
Here’s a little secret: The airport news service filters the news. You will never see a newsworthy air disaster on an airport screen, even if such a report is being carried by CNN. The airport operation runs on a 10-second delay, which allows it to edit on the fly, pun intended, to block "bad" airline news from passengers who might be upset by it. The network usually covers banned news by throwing in a quick weather report or other filler.
The network knows it has a captive audience, some of whom are nervous fliers. “We don’t want airport travelers in distress,” says spokeswoman Bridget Leininger.

If the airports are privately run, I agree. However, they aren't. They are taxpayer funded.
