That Liberal Rag
I've had a subscription to the Sunday New York Times for about two years. I started reading it in college because many of my political science and international studies professors used stories from The Times in their teaching, and i found the stories to be well written and very interesting. I like how the paper covers stories in an unemotional way, as well as more accurately and with more depth than most papers.
My parents have always referred to The Times as "that liberal rag." However, i have enjoyed watching them go from glancing at the front page, to reading the front page, to looking at the front pages of the other sections, to reading the other sections in depth, to reading almost the entire paper before i have had a chance to read it (i havent switched the delivery from the house to my apartment -too much hassle and confusion for the delivery people. I've had a lot of problems in the past receiving my paper. By the way, i know this is way too much to include in one parenthese).
My evil plan of secretly liberalizing my parents through the news media is falling into place.

Yes, but if conservatives have their way, the media will no longer be "liberal".
you're talking about the PBS/NPR debacle?
That among others.
Just have them watch Fox News, that will liberalize them... ;)
Was that a joke?
