Finally! My mom sees the true colors of MSM!
My grandfather lent her Al Franken's book "Lies" and she read the chapter on Paul Wellstone (pretty much aloud to me but with good results) and announced that she will never watch CNN again!!!!

She's quite ticked that Judy Woodruff and Jeff Greenfield picked up on the RW talking points about the memorial service without having watched it.

All I have to do now is get her to go online and read the news here and at other good places! She claims she doesn't know what she'll do now. She won't watch FAUX and the CSPAN callers drive her nuts. We'll see...

All I can say is FINALLY!!!

P.S. Sorry to the moderators and anyone else if this is in the wrong place!

2. Good for you
and your mom. She apparently has an open mind. One by one is how we'll get this done.

5. Well, I can't get my kids to read a book, a website, or my blog
It works both ways; however, both of my daughters are willing to listen to me periodically in brief bursts.

While we do watch CNN, I'm a Lou Dobbs fan, we recognize that "Daybreak" and "Early Morning" is news-lite and watch it more due to the hour (at 2-4 a.m. in Alaska) there isn't a whole lot of anything interesting to watch on TV. We're into triple reruns on THC and SciChan.

7. Another eye opens. It really is becoming more blatant.
I don't trust the perception skills of anyone who claims the media ISN'T biased towards BushInc and the desires of their corporate masters.

8. MSM Is Embarrassing
They don't deserve liberal viewers. I heard on Ed Schultz today, he will be on a panel moderated by George Stephanopoulos soon and the topic is........

Is the Elite Media Out of Step w/American's ???

That is laughable, there is no elite media and the GOP line about the media being liberal is horseshit. More GOP lies!
