My 97 year old mother in law lives with my wife and I -- and she watches FAUX News and listens to all the right wing radio she can handle. So I am exposed to FAUX -- like it or not. Answer: NOT. I do not voluntarily choose to watch any of the more extreme political shows, so other than being forced to sit through some FAUX News shows, I don't watch any of the folks that you mention. I may have caught a few snippets, but I've never watched a single Matthews / Kinsley / Olbermann / Shultz show from start to finish. I never will either. Nothing would please me more than not to have been exposed to FAUX, believe me. Yoda out... |

>>>...other than being forced to sit through some FAUX News shows...<<<
FORCED?
Gimme a break. You must be horribly PW.
But since you admit you don't watch "extreme" political shows except when FORCED to watch "faux" (heh), I think you should hold your water.
If you expect any credibility, that is.

Matthews likes to talk and he talks over every guest, left or right. You have no point. I won't bother with your reference to Olbermann since he hasn't been on MSNBC for at least a couple or 3 months. Try to keep up. =Bob |

So dominating your 97 year old mother-in-law is manly?

Oops, your logic was flawed. Again. As respects my mother in law, it's called being civil -- a topic that you should probably hold your water on for reasons of the same lack of familiarity that you accuse me of. Yoda out... . |

Hmmm, Fox News and "kiddy porn" are equivalent. Interesting.

Actually, it would be what we needed to get her committed -- unfortunately, FAUX News alone probably isn't sufficient. Once she were committed we could make her viewing decisions for her and both FAUX and kiddy porn would be blocked. Yoda out... . |
