It gave me hope that my then-husband could be saved. I downgraded our cable so we wouldn't get FauxNews, and also, to be fair, we wouldn't get MSNBC or CNN.

The first morning after the downgrade took effect I came home from running an early morning errand and he was sitting in his chair just glaring. He was absolutely livid. I explained to him that I also wasn't going to get to watch "my" channels and was hoping it would improve things between us if we each didn't have those influences. What I did was to basically take a break from being a news junkie. What he did was to get in his truck and listen to right-wing radio.

Last February our divorce was final. I'm happy. He's still the miserable old cuss that he had become during his downfall, which I believe was greatly perpetuated by right wing fake news sources.
