[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL watches "FOX NEWS" ALL DAY.

She comes to our house and we have an open layout, and she watches it all day and it dominates the room.

News is depressing, whether Fox or CSNBC.  10 hours of it and I'm ready to go nuts!

She has no filter; doesn't mute it during commercials--in our old house (where we had a room we parked her in) when it was the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, my kids got in there without me knowing, and my DD was flippin' TRAUMATIZED by the footage and had to sleep with the light on/door open for months afterwards

So she watches the same damn news hour after hour.  After 10 hours, she's heard the same stories 10 times.  But if you ask her, "so what happened with the tornado?" she says, "huh?  oh, I don't know."  GRRRR

We all hid in a back room this Thanksgiving and my FIL just ranted about how the TV has ruined American life, and he never spends time in the den at his house anymore because he can't stand it.  But he turns the stupid box on for her...[/quote]

Oh wow!  This sounds awful!  [/quote]
