I remember my Dad raging at the talking heads on the news every night. Especially Rather. He HATED Rather. The 60's and 70's were tough on our parents who had fought a war and come home to make a life. Vietnam, LBJ, Watergate; my father was p.o'd all the time and for good reason.
Are you my sibling? LOL My father did the same thing. Loved it, though, and learned so much from him.
