My very lib (and willfully ignorant) MIL gets ALL her news from Newsweak. If it’s not in there, it didn’t happen, and she has actually said that she’ll wait to form her opinion about any topic until she reads what they have to say about it.
Oh, and they’re unbiased - they have no reason to slant a story.
My mother gets most of her info from The View. She gives me, Sarah is going to make the polar bears drown. I tell her Gore’s movie has been discredited. She asks me, “what movie?” I tell her the name of the movie. She never heard of it, but will look for it. She says something like Gov. Palin is stupid. I tell her to watch the debate. She tells me debates are boring. I try to explain some of the real science on the GW issue, starting with simple stuff, like the place we’re living used to be under a glacier. Warming happens. I try to get into more depth & can tell her mind has glazed over.
She has already voted.
