Reply #64: Nancy Reagan made them turn off FOX on AF1! LOL! [View All]

This interview with Ron Reagan was in my paper today. Man, if Nancy Reagan doesn't like Fox maybe there is hope. (Of course, I realize her son is on MSNBC and that has something to do with it but still...)

I got a kick out of this but it also gives me the creeps that FOX is such an instrument of the Bush people. Everytime I stay in a hotel and FOX News is the default channel on TV---which is the case oftentimes---I complain loudly.

And a quote from the Ron Reagan article:

"Q. Does your mom ever call and tell you that you (screwed) up?

A. And in those words, too. ... She's very supportive, likes the show and all that good stuff. When I started working for MSNBC, which was before my father died last year, she became sort of an MSNBC loyalist then. We flew back to Washington on Air Force One for the funeral. When you get on Air Force One, you discover that they've got these flat-panel screens in various places on the plane, and they're all tuned to Fox News. And she called up whomever you call on the plane and had them turn all the TVs to MSNBC instead."
