Oregon Blogging

I'm in Oregon for 10 days for a conference, research, parents, etc.

First thought--My parents are watching the morning news on the local CBS affiliate, KVAL. What do I see? Why, it's one James Dobson giving a nice homily on family values!! I find this particularly insidious for many reasons. That it's a CBS station is one of them--everyone who watches Fox knows more or less what they're getting. But isn't CBS supposed to be neutral? Guess not. Plus, other than the politically active and most Colorado residents, who really knows who James Dobson is? It's sly and horrifying. What, you mean he's not just some nice preacher talking about family values? He has a political agenda?
