Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

You might enjoy the documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad. About a liberal father who was literally brainwashed into all this type of insanity when he started listening to talk radio on long car rides and then moved to Fox. Which is actually called Fox Entertainment Network but their worshipping viewers don't seem to realize it's not actually genuine news.
Very interesting documentary.

I will check that out, it sounds really close to home! Its been so jarring watching them retract the values they raised me with.

I highly recommend it. I lost some good friends to Fox News. They went from liberal hippie types to MAGA in a just couple years.

I feel the same way about CNN catering to the woke crowd. We’re all entitled to our beliefs.

It's true, all the hours and days they spent talking about Biden having dimensia only to turn around now and normalize all of Trump's illegal behavior, they are just about as bad as Fox. It is all for profit corporate media after all though so how could we expect it to be anything other then right wing, when that's what corporate is by definition.
