And Another Pet Peeve...

For those of you that listen to the national Fox News station (can't speak for the local stations so much), here's my opinion.  And, for that matter, MSNBC and any other 24 hour news station.

Regardless of what you think, your mother should have taught you to say it better.  Your tonalities are rude and judgmental.  They insinuate evil and conspiracy, incompetence and stupidity.  My mother never let me talk that way to anyone, even if they were the most evil, incompetent, stupid person on the face of the earth.  They still were human beings, children of God, and as such were to be treated with respect.

Watch something else for awhile...or watch nothing.  Give it enough time to make a difference.  Read your news for a month and then check your level of irritation with the world.  It might improve.  Language and tonalities make a difference.  We can be better than this.

Stepping off the soapbox and going back to work now...
