    my elderly dad, with Fox News on: “Did you see this horrible killing?” me: “Wasn’t he a scumbag?” dad: “He had two small children. There was just a guy on saying how much of a good guy he was.”

    The fucking Hate Machine, Fear Factory of Fox has (for two generations now?) utterly and completely brainwashed the tv-addicted, suburbanite, old folks faction. As much as we all know it it’s so pathetic and evil to witness in the numerous ways it gets decent people time and again to become debased fascist bigots.

      My grandma graduated to newsmax, which is even worse than fox. She “cried herself to sleep” over Kirk. Didn’t know or care about the Colorado school shooting the same day. Sometimes I miss the grandma I remember as a child but man she makes it difficult most of the time
