Was stuck at my friend's dad's house, stuck on Fox News for a week while this went down.

Dad and his wife literally laid in their armchairs all week, smoking pot, watching Fox. Nothing else. And I do mean literally. They slept in their Lazy-Boys, never in bed, Fox never got turned off. Not once.

His dad was a smart man, and quite reasonable. Asked him why the biggest story on the planet, one that made Obama look bad, didn't get a single mention on Fox. Not one. Over an entire week. Shoulder shrug.

Still can't understand what happened there. Perfect time for Fox to go ballistic on Obama. Silence.

Can you tell us more about these people? Gen x or boomers? Were they always like this?
