I’m sure this is the wrong place to be asking about this (and I hope I’m not breaking any rules…it seems to be skirting #3), but I figure it’s worth a try.

I’ve got a mother with Alzheimers, and she is hell bent and determined to watch the news…I’d LOVE it if I could find like a multi-hour hour torrent of news that, if not positive, isn’t the awfulness that is on the TV every night.

For anyone who thinks I should just let her watch the news: on top of the fact I don’t think anyone should watch the news all day long (and I do mean, all. day. long.), she is unwilling to pay the $75 a month it costs for cable. Every time she asks why there is no news on the TV, we explain why and she goes “hell nah”.

That said, I’m getting tired of telling her numerous times a day why there is no news on the TV…which leads us to this post.

Mods, if this kind of post isn’t cool for this sub, please feel free to nuke it (and I did read the rules).
