I want it without any left or right spin, and I want it to be accurate. Just the facts please, I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinion. I don't need it spoon-fed to me.
Much of the time, none of the US news agencies are able to deliver on that very well.
Edit to add: UNREC for hating on your grandparents who most likely deserve better from you.

3. For what it's worth....I LOVE my parents & grandparents.... |
|
and I TREASURE everything that they have taught me. I wouldn't be 'who I am' without their support/teaching/knowledge....nor would ANY of us be who/where we are w/o the ppl who have gone before us......
Anyway, my parents/grandparents aren't 'good' with this 'new technology'....and niether is CNN or FAUX. That was all I was trying to say.

7. Yup. I'm 53. My last grandparent passed seven years ago. |
|
I miss them all. They all remembered a time when automobiles were rarely seen and long-distance telephone calls were almost impossible to make. I learned a lot from them.
