Oh no. Oh shit.

 
my X just informed me that my 15 year old son is watching Ben Shapiro and Fox News.

his is at the dangerous age where he doesn't put much value in what his parents say.

he is a thoughtful caring person but i'm concerned he is vulnerable to the methodical and powerful Fox lie machine that sucks people in.

i'm concerned this is not something I can lecture him about or he'll run in the opposite direction.

8. Get him to do something other than listening to hate radio

You can start by parental locking the Faux channels and firewalling your Internet and blacklisting every right-wing source.

You can tell your son that there are better things to do in his life than to listen to bullshit. At 15, I was playing Sierra Online games... You remember those.. Leisure Suit Larry, Kings Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, etc.

They are still playable in many retro sites.

19. Hmm. Ask him why. Just ask.

If he is refusing to explain, then cancel his Clans account. I'm watching my kid closely even though he plays Roblox exclusively, but also uses Discord to chat with people worldwide.

Also might want to restrict his Youtube stuff.

25. If my mom had denied me access to political

materials at 15 I’d have been pissed, and it would have reinforced my desire to read that stuff all the more.

21. Maybe be concerned about

His friends. I would look into that. Where did he get the idea to watch Fox? Just saying.

33. 15 year old, male....

Tell him he won't get any dates if he watches too much Fox News.

36. That's so true - good suggestion

Copy some articles about Republicans not being able to get dates, and bribe him to read them.

38. My 16 year old granddaughter

is dating this trumper jerk who worships Ben Shapiro. She and her dad are at odds over it. I’m biting my tongue. She tells me she thinks Shapiro is handsome.

14. Watch it with him next time he's with you

Ask him what he likes about it.

Ask him more things after that. Repeat.

Ask him to watch Rachel with you. Or listen to Amy Goodman with you.

Good luck.

Good luck is right.  Good luck getting a 15 year old boy to watch Rachel Maddow or Amy Goodman.

Old n Grumpy:
Get him some porn and teach him to masterbate.

Then he can be a jerk off like you. :mental: :thatsright: :bird: :loser:

Little wanna be tyrants the entire lot of them.
