by turning on the TV and flipping thru the channels. I would have simply said that you don't watch Fox, you watch other news outlets. You might present him with the idea that being in your home is an opportunity for him to see and hear other points of view. Don't make him wrong, even if he is. He is presenting you with an opportunity to practice patience. Lots of patience.
