Aol Parental Controls

From a reader:

Hi Jonah,

Why are we not surprised. We have instituted parental controls on access to aol for our kids. I was amused (dismayed) to discover that I could not access NRO (my favorite site) while on their account.

I was led to check out a few more sites both liberal and conservative to see which were allowed and which not.

This is far from an exhaustive list but gives you the flavor.

NRO – no The New Republic – yes

Washinton Times – no Washinton Post – yes

Heritage Foundation – no Brookings Institution – yes

American Spectator – no The Nation – yes

Progressive Review – yes

New York Review of Books – yes

Talking Points Memo – yes

Instapundit – yes

Michaelmoore.com – yes

NY Times (kiddie edition only allowed)

NY Post – no

LA Times – no

Guardian UK – yes

Some surprises:

Realclearpolitics.com – yes

marksteyn.com – yes

kausfiles.com – no

I think you all at NRO need to complain. Conservative ideas definitely are not harmful to kids.

Best regards and keep up the good work.
