A Faux News Observation
As I mentioned, I am (probably) finished with physical therapy. Thank goodness! I don’t mind the sessions themselves. They’ve been educational and helpful. The waiting room, though, pisses me right the hell off. Even when I’m right on time, instead of 10-15 minutes early, I’ve had to wait, and every time, the television in the waiting room has been tuned to Fox News.
There are a lot of things in this world that I’ll more-or-less gracefully endure, but I’d rather Faux News weren’t one of them. While waiting for yesterday’s PT session, it struck me that the super-hyper banter between the talking heads reminded me a bit of listening to the Bob & Tom show (something I grew out of when I was, oh, 15-16 years old). When a supposed news show sounds like a morning radio show that relies heavily on toilet humor, that should be a clue that it’s time to turn the channel.
