My dad’s there too, unfortunately.

Heh. My ex-wife broke my dad of Fox News, and she did it in less than one minute.

He was watching it one day when her and I were back in the States visiting; anyway, she watched it for about five minutes, and blew up. She said to him, “You don’t really believe any of this? It’s shameless propaganda; I grew up in a Communist country and was subjected to this kind of non-stop propaganda every day of my life until I was 16. This is sickening.”

It actually made him stop and think - he asked her about it, it led to a discussion where she pointed out various propaganda techniques she’d been exposed to as a kid, and shortly after that, he quit watching it.
