My Mom
She is a liberal democrat, but she refuses to believe stories that are not covered in the MSM. She thinks that I am making the Gannon-gate up. It is so frustrating! She has no idea about what the Plame case is, but she can recite transcripts from the Scott Peterson trial.

Jesus.

1. Keep your printer warm. That is what I do. I am constantly printing from
the internets for my husband to take to work for his freeper coworkers. He's gotten a few to admit that Bush is at least an idiot. :hi:

3. You're lucky.
My mother makes regular donations to the GOP, and one side of the refrigerator is covered with glossy pictures of George and his handler (with that hideous smile). Lol.

4. What about MSNBC?
Does she accept that as MSM? Olbermann's Feb 11 transcript has some of the story.

5. I think she may be in denial....
Denial that things are as horrible as they are and that the world is so fucked up thanks to the BFEE.

6. Well,
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 07:06 PM by Dyedinthewoolliberal
that used to be the standard. I remember being in the supermarket, as a child, seeing the tabloids and being told they weren't really NEWSpapers.
Mom just hasn't noticed the shift by the media from watchdogs of government to lapdogs of government..........
