I present here the first post-Christmas bouncy I was able to locate on the island today:

Christmas in a home without Fox News (Dish Network)

My mom's house. They know that we don't agree politically but there is usually something slipped into the conversation. And yes I usually respond.

This year - no Fox News. CNN is back on the Dish Network and Glenn Beck's The Blaze is being offered without subscription. They think he "has gone over the edge" me:"He's a con man".

We've watched Christmas movies, talked about sports, talked about new babies in the extended families, etc.

My mom at one point said "What do you do for news?" Me: "check out Al Jazeera" (as a joke) but my mom actual had looked into it.

I did have to research "There is a controversy about Winnie the Pooh not wearing pants" - turns out it was one town in Poland.

I love my folks obviously but it is interesting to see them basically without ammo. They simply don't have their daily briefing or have it continually reinforced.

Underpants must be a DISH subscriber as well since I doubt her parents would tell her this on Christmas Day. IOW, SHE "slipped it into the conversation".  "Continually reinforced", "their daily briefing" = projection. Her poor parents 

I'm a DISH customer too, and FOX News has been blocked out for several days - the same thing happened earlier this year with CNN and TMC. I'm getting tired of these blackouts and tend to blame DISH over the channels, just because DISH should realize that the channels are going to try to jack up their rates when the contracts expire. But it's not political as underpants implies, and FOX News will be back on the air within weeks, even days . . . far  before the next elections.
