You would dislike it even more if you ever read this book. I got it on an interlibrary loan.

Spin Sisters: How the Women of the Media Sell Unhappiness --- and Liberalism --- to the Women of America

Blowing the whistle on a job she herself did for over ten years at Ladies Home Journal as editor-in-chief, Blyth reveals the almost institutionalized selling of a liberal/do-gooders message to women through chararacterizing women themselves as victims. Playing on women's compassion and ability to be hooked into "uplifting" stories with a moral or happy ending, American media has convinced the most well-educated, rich and healthy audience in history that they are miserable.

Rush has been saying this for years now. Calling it the "Oprah-fication" of society. It is why emperor Obama can shed a fake tear and his poll numbers go up 5 points.

I can believe that. It is a very well written book. Glad she mentioned Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric in it as well. I think any woman who reads any magazine and listens to the news should read this book.
