Slate is obsessed with trashing Fox News, and they’ve gotten ridiculously juvenile. They published an intern’s how-to-guide to block your parents from watching the network.
Catherine Piner writes that “Daughters Don’t Let Their Mothers Watch Fox News,” as if children should be controlling what their parents watch, or if parental controls should be used for any reason other than parents making sure their young children don’t watch age inappropriate content. Slate advertises it as just that on Twitter.

Before listing instructions for the block from various cable providers, Piner goes on the typical anti-Fox News rant. She also mentions a Slate reader who couldn’t possibly fathom that her mother would vote for Hillary Clinton and dare to watch Fox News at the same time:
If Abby’s mother is liberal, it might be surprising that she would watch Fox News. It need not be a bad thing though for this woman to take an interest in seeing what those from the other side of the aisle have to say. Alas, the left just can’t handle it:
It’s laughable that blocking a channel from a competent adult would leave to “the opportunity ‘to have a conversation…'” That’s not conversation, that’s shutting it down and silencing one’s critics, something young leftists are already all too willing to do on college campuses.
