Beyond the Airwaves Episode #104 -- Black Friday INVADES Thanksgiving!

This is Beyond the Airwaves: The Infinity Project, where we go beyond the mainstream media and tackle issues that don't seem so important to the major networks.

Thanksgiving is supposed to be a holiday where the family spends that quality time together, starting with the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in the morning, enjoying the turkey in any way, and then chilling out with all the football games and specials on TV (or just sleeping off the afternoon thanks to the tryptophan.) Unfortunately, some retail businesses, including Macy's, are starting "Black Friday" sales as early as 12 noon on Thanksgiving Day. Even worse, some of the big-name retailers are forcing employees to come in or face termination. Has Thanksgiving lost its holiday appeal? Is Black Friday even worth it anymore? We'll discuss the situation and look at the Facebook page "Boycott Black Thursday," one of many that have appeared to bring back Thanksgiving as the holiday it should be.
