GRRR F** news

My mom has moved in with us. I'm glad; I am happy we can do this.

My mom watches F** news- which, in my opinion, should not be allowed to call itself news.

It's making me a little nuts.

This "news" station is so blatantly biased towards conservative-to-extremely-conservative politics that it makes me angry. And I don't feel in a position to rebut this at the moment. So, I'll just complain here.

For instance, today on the Huffington Post (which, I will grant, leans the to the liberal end of the spectrum) I read about the Republicans passing the "Protect Life" bill. The bill "prohibits women from buying health insurance plans that cover abortion under the Affordable Care Act and makes it legal for hospitals to deny abortions to pregnant women with life-threatening conditions." The Huffington Post goes on to state that the "goal" of the bill, to ensure that public funds will not pay for abortion, is already addressed in current law.

On Fox "news", the "reporters" are bashing Democrats for opposing this "Protect Life" bill - bashing in the most strident terms.

Usually, I don't like it when bills get strident, polarizing nicknames. But I think calling this one the "Let Her Die" bill is appropriate.

Why does the right hate women sooooo much? I just don't get it.
