A few years ago (or more than a few) I was married. My now ex was/is addicted to Fox News, and I couldn't stand Fox News, they just made me agitated and upset. It took me a divorce, distance, and some deprogramming to figure out why. I tend to work on projects while the TV is on, like crochet or needlework, so I'm not fully focused on what they are saying, but the message seeps into your system. I find their message wholly repugnant. Every news source has a message that they are peddling, a target audience that they want to pander to. Yes, EVERY news source will have a slant to left, right, or middle. My now adult children want to take a "family" vacation the summer of 2023, stay in a house on the Great Lakes for a week. All the kids, all the partners, all the grands, and the creators of this cluster; the ex and I. I have set down a couple of cast in concrete stipulations. One being NO FOX NEWS. The kids and partners are on board with that 110%. Haven't heard what the ex thinks of this, and I don't care.

@Retiredsteve Thankfully my kids are all liberal leaning and mostly non religious. Also I wear hearing aids and they're connected to my phone. When I want to tune out, I can turn on Spotify on my phone and no one is aware that I'm not really there

Wonder how Faux Noise presents PBS/NPR reporting?

@JackPedigo As liberal lies. I'm largely at top left though also read Daily Kos and Agnostic.
