Pol to CSPAN caller: Skip Fox News

Democratic Rep. Jim Himes on Wednesday offered some advice to a particularly angry conservative caller: Try a little less Fox News.
On C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, a caller from Michigan asked for the Connecticut congressman to try to defend a laundry list of grievances he had with President Barack Obama, including the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and the IRS scandal.
Himes smiled during much of the statement, during which the caller rattled off a number of complaints, including the claim that the White House and not Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was responsible for the October 2013 government shutdown. He also referenced older issues like his comments about the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious program.
...
“That was quite a list,” Himes said with a laugh.
The congressman initially appeared willing to address all the issues, but then decided against it, saying that it would take hours to address the numerous complaints leveled at the administration.
“I will try to attend to — actually, I’m not going to,” he said. “Look, with all due respect, Bob, maybe a little more C-SPAN and a little less Fox News. That was the grab bag of everything that Fox News and my friends on the Republican Caucus of the House in particular have tried to hang on the president.”

experience a few weeks ago.
I was at the pharmacy counter and in front of me was an older couple, definitely Medicare age, waiting to pay for a prescription. The man was complaining to his wife about how much higher the co-pay was going to be now because of Obamacare.
When the cashier scanned it and told him the price, he was shocked because it hadn't increased at all. He told his wife he didn't understand it, he kept hearing on Fox that Medicare co-pays were tripled! The cashier overheard him and politely said "Turn off Fox, you'll feel better."
