We bought what was recommended by AARP - DH 19 years ago and me 15 years ago. I know a lot of people on this BB say they want nothing to do with AARP because they are brainwashed by Fox news -

I've never heard anything bad about AARP from FOX --only from the people who are subscribed.

AARP is PAC, just like AT&T or National Beer.

Meh...not worth it.

Fox has never turned anyone against AARP...that is such baloney!

I often am forced to listen to Fox on the tvs when I am at the gym and have personally heard them ragging on AARP fairly often.

You know if you are wanting to support Fox and all they say and do - at least be honest with yourself and others and own who they really are. If you are finding you have to be dishonest with yourself about what Fox really is , maybe you need to watch something else.They are what they are and that is a conservative TV station devoted to pushing the conservative agenda to the point of brainwashing.

I know I shouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole, but I have to say: finally, someone has had the nerve to speak the truth! Thanks, HH!

I promise you I do not watch Fox news or really any of the cable news channels, just local news.

I'm a conservative Republican because of my morals and beliefs.

I have long term care insurance, but am not a part of AARP. I don't even know why there is a gripe about AARP/long term care/Fox news bashing except from reading here.

edited by moi to say 'Have a great day!'

Maybe not turned them against AARP but they are influential. Almost all the offices around here that have TV in their waiting area, have Fox on. It is disturbing to hear and see some of the reactions to their segments.

Just as some MSNBC viewers cannot separate fact from opinion, the same is true for some Fox viewers.

Not surprising here to see opinion called truth.

I belong to liberal political organizations but I don't know anyone who listens ONLY to MSNBC - but i know many people who have Fox news on ALL day long in the background of their lives. people should be listening to and reading numerous media sources to be well rounded and informed of all the sides of an issue. Fox repeatedly tells it's viewers they should only watch Fox. they also claim they are unbiased - a blatant lie. MSNBC openly admits they support the liberal POV, they don't lie about that.

It is not just an opinion - it is a fact.

All of them have agendas.
