My brother has seen the light.....

[chowder66]

A few days ago, I posted about a challenge I proposed to my brother to swap news programs for 5 days. I would watch one or two of his conservative shows if he would watch KO or Rachel Maddow. He never told me which show to watch but went ahead and watched both of the shows I recommended for 3 out of the 5 days. He called last night to say that he was voting for Obama!!! He said he wasn't ready to give up Faux news yet but that he would continue watching MSNBC now. He felt that they were closer to the truth and he has doubts about his news channel!!

IT WORKED!!!!!....and I didn't have to watch Billo!!!!

2. That's a good idea.

I often tell pugs to just watch when the House or the Senate is in session on the span. After a week or so, if they really do it, their minds start to change.

It's hard to taste the truth when you're served a steady diet of lies.

3. Keith and Rachel kill em' with context.

4. "Where do you get your information?"

That's what one Faux News watching-relative asked me after I successfully predicted that there would be no WMD found in Iraq. "Everyone thought there'd be WMD!" she said.

I'm not spectacularly well-informed, but by not watching Faux News, at least I'm not MISinformed...

5. People who exclusively watch Fox News don't even realize how misinformed they are

6. Just follow up with him on a daily basis

getting lies all day all the time can get to you.. Whether he admits now voting for Obama.. maybe he is just saying it because hasn’t given up on faux yet..

If I were you I will watch him closely.. and ask him what he thinks in certain topics to see where he is at on those issues...
