I was dismayed to see a cheap commerical for Party City playing a Michael Jackson song during the news coverage for the trial. His loser family is still making money off of Michael. Bunch of hypocrites.

I've pretty much stopped watching any news. Every story is negative and I think it affects the watcher/listener in a negative way.

Just wait until you see the next People Magazine. They go all out for dead people.

Agree, enough is enough. There is too much sensationalism by the media on crime. I wish they would spend more time concentrating on some good news for a change.

When my husband complains about all the politics and trial reruns 24/7, I just tell him to watch the Food Channel!

I hate TV. I could take it out of my home in a heart beat. However, I have my 88 yr old moter living with me & she watches Fox news from about 11 a.m. to about 4, then switches over to local till about 6. I am so sick of that _______ TV I could scream. She watches the same news over & over just a different person reporting the same stuff. Also she has it up so loud. I have an open room with kitchen & living room & sometimes I can't hear myself think. I put a small radio by my work area in the kitchen & for the most part I can't even hear it.
I have tried to get her to watch shows like Waltons, Little house on preaie, food shows but know she is afraid she will miss something on that d_ _ _ _ thing. She also controls the tv in the eve,so If I sit in the room with her , I have to watch shows like Lawerence Welk, makes me want to puck.
Some days I pray for the dish to go out so I can have some piece & quiet.
I love my Mother but enough is enough.

That's one of the many reasons I never watch CNN. Slanted news, and one horror after another. Let me hear something GOOD for a change!

My mom took care of the volume problem with my dad. Got him a pair of headphones to pick up the signal from the TV - special made just for that purpose. He has them so loud you can still hear the TV if you're in the same room, but the sound on the TV is off! You could be in another room, and could enjoy the silence. I heartily recommend it! If for nothing else, at least for your sanity!!

could you possibly move a TV into your mom's bedrm? It would drive me crazy, too. We have TVs all over the house cus I just dont like to be near one all the time, or, if I want to watch an old 30s movie, hubs goes to his "mancave" to watch whatever, or I go and quilt and he watches something in the living rm.

sometimes, when people are that aged, thats about all they want to do - can you take her for a walk around the yard, or get her to do some of her old favorite things? Help in the kitchen, or sew?? My MIL used to love to go out in the yard once a day and walk around and tell me about all her flowers. sharet
