More than one-third of U.S. airline passengers won’t see the politicized video from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that blames the government shutdown on Democrats—as major airports cite federal, state and local policies prohibiting partisan messaging in their facilities.
The top 10 U.S. airports—accounting for 35% of all commercial passenger volume in the country, according to OAG Aviation—will not play the controversial DHS video featuring Noem.
“In keeping with federal and local airport policies,” Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the nation’s busiest, “will not display the recently-distributed video from DHS on airport controlled media,” an airport spokesperson told Forbes, saying it “strives to maintain a neutral and welcoming environment for all travelers.”
