Note to self: Never read the comments on a FOX News site. No matter how curious you are, never read them. It always just makes you feel suicidal, and that’s not worth it. Just Say No.
You know, this Deep State bullshit shows at least one thing : assholes have been learning over the past century. Because that’s where propagandists of the past were wrong. They knew nothing, and I mean nothing unites and energizes a political base like a common enemy. Someone or someones despicable, monstrous, some evil beast that must be put down. But where they fucked up was making up enemies that existed. Hitler accused the Jews, McCarthy has the Communists, Nixon had the dope fiends and the long hairs, Bush had Al Qaeda & terrorists… The problem there is that, when you’ve actually dealt with your great bugaboo and shit is *still *fucked up, people start wondering if maybe you didn’t make the whole thing up about there being an enemy in the first place who was responsible for everything.
Which is why the Deep State is brilliant.
Nobody knows what it is or means. Nobody identifies with it, because it’s not a thing that really exists. Which means this nebulous conspiracy can fit with or encompass any and everything, can never be defeated (unlike Sharia Law terrorists, who’ve been terribly quiet as of late and don’t seem like such an imminent existential threat any more, booo !). It can even be retroactively applied - the Deep State did Benghazi (because HRC is the Deep State, somehow), fuck at this point it probably did 9/11 too. And because it is limitless and extraordinarily sneaky, you can demand limitless extraordinary measures to fight against it. You can even support a known philanderer when you’re a Christian values guy, a crony capitalist and crook when you’re a down on your luck coal miner living on disability pensions, a buffoonish draft dodger when you’re a military buff and a crooked, amoral piece of shit when you actually respect the country, its history and its laws. All in service of the greater cause of fighting the Deep State. He’s the demon you know fighting the devil you can’t.
It’s perfect.
Fox News has given unequivocal support for the outrageous treatment of Tommy Robinson by the British police and judiciary - so they can’t be all bad.
FOX news commenting about the Roseanne issue:
“ABC doesn’t hate Roseanne – The network hates her viewers”
Suuuuure, we all can feel the FOX love.
Oh, absolutely. That’s how you run a network - you throw away your highest rated and most profitable program because its viewership doesn’t meet the network’s political acceptability standards. :rolleyes:
The right-wing outrage is so freakin’ predictable: the cancellation was a violation of Roseanne’s free speech; it was political correctness run amok; it was done solely to piss off Trump. Give me a break.
Fox Snooze is really only tangentially related to Fox entertainment. I mean, beside the fact that it is not entertaining. This thread is about how bad Fox Snooze is, and that other Fox thingy is not exactly relevant. I mean, they have had Groening and McFarlane for quite a few years, with no parallel at all on Fox Snooze. Not even close.
See this tweet: x.com
They note that “a handful” of players were planning not to attend anyway.
While talking about NFL anthem kneeling protests, they are showing athletes kneeling in prayer…
This was posted in an Elections thread (which meant I didn’t even have to go looking for it!):
Good catch, IG!
Huh, and now Fox deleted their tweet. Capital news organization, they are.
They’ve apologized, sort of.*
*IMO, doesn’t really count unless it’s on a Fox site.
Just for the record, a Faux News wordbarfer urged anyone that might have to face Robert Muller to destroy their phones. Smash them to tiny pieces. Because, her emails.
Well, after the ugliness at the G7, they did report that:
Of course they corrected it later. Making them less honest :), but that is normal for them.
It’s not on You Tube. Gee, I wonder why.
I did see the snippet on Facebook.
It actually can be found on YT, without even looking all that hard. Note how as Ms. Huffman spots him at the door, she sounds like she is about to cream her panties.
Oh, that is freakin’ hilarious! Love it!
Fox News is blowing it’s load over the “FBI BAD!!! COMEY=SATAN!!!” news.
Makes it very easy to miss the “Trump Foundation lawsuit” link at the top.
“Satan”? Nah, a lower ranked demon, like Beelzebubba, demon of pork rinds and bad country music.
Presumably they’re arguing that Comey is bad because it’s been shown that he wasn’t biased against Clinton.
Speaking of Clinton and Comey, I want to ensure no one missed this epic mic drop on Twitter:
I took one for the team and watched Hannity. Giuliani, as usual, demanded that the Mueller probe immediately be halted. The rest of his guests were about evenly split: half would rant about how the IG’s report proved that the corrupt deep state was in the bag for Hillary, while the other half called the IG’s report a whitewash.
Best of all was Hannity and Judge Jeanine Pirro lamenting about the sad state of the media, and how nobody respects the Constitution any more.
