I’m curious what his wife thinks of this story. Does she just laugh nervously when he tells it at a party?
Since he didn’t rape and kill her, it ends up as a ‘meet cute’ story. But she is probably suspicious any time he hears that he gave a colleague a ride home.
Watch the footage. His wife didn’t know this story until he told it on air, on The Five. Even the repulsive Greg Gugfeld thought it was pretty reprehensible.
If I’m his wife, I’d say to him when he gets home that night that he’s got some splainin’ to do.
And hopefully some papers to sign. Or therapy if she thinks it’s all right too.
Does this mean that Fox hires inflatable female mannikins?
Distinguishing one of their Vixens from the next can be challenging for the casual/intermittent viewer, so it does seem entirely possible that they are all just pressing from the same mold which only display differences due to usage wear on the mold itself and attempts by makeup to make them seem not-the-same.
Milk now costs $11. Fox News with some well researched info.
In what may be an attempt to out-Mail the Daily Mail, the Fox News website has this arresting lead-in to the story of a murder investigation:
“EXCLUSIVE: A Florida tattoo parlor staffer said the Mormon ex-wife of slain Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan asked if he knew anyone who could “shut him up” in 2015 — after undergoing a surprising “enhancement” on her genitals.”
I’m not sure I want to read any more.
Not Fox News per se, but the local Fox Network affiliate (that runs The Simpsons, et al) seems to love to report on crime and more crime, which fine, as it goes, but they have this nasty habit of we have to illustrate crime so that our audience are properly conditioned to all this crime. How do you depict crime properly? By showing police vehicles with flashing lights. Yammer on for 90~120 seconds about the details of the story while the viewers are treated to the blue-and-red strobing effect, sometimes blurred behind other graphics so that it it even more annoying/irritating (i.e., paranoia-reinforcing).
The serious local news broadcasts do not do this, IME.
Gutfeld has wiped the late night shows… it’s fun!
What in the Wide World Of Sports are you babbling about?
I think eenerms means the Fox late-night show Gutfeld! (punctuation in original), which is very popular with Fox viewers.
Conservative comedy is very … interesting. I’ve come across this show and watched a few minutes at a time. The bits seem to consist mostly of stories that start “yeah, I’m an asshole” and “yeah, I’m stupid”, which, while that part is true, aren’t particularly funny. The audience loves it, though.
This story explains that
its headline is utter incendiary bullshit. Most readers, however, will not get past the 2nd, maybe 3rd paragraph, long before it becomes clear that the author’s trousers have set his hair on fire (assuming the author had something to do with writing the headline).
Complete with a nice, big, completely unrelated picture of Dr Fauci at the top too.
Can I check in with what the real story is with covid?
So, Fauci worked with the Chinese to develop a bioweapon in Wuhan. Because obviously China would be willing to do this kind of collaboration with the US on their own soil.
The virus then spread deliberately or accidentally (I think there’s an even split on this online) in China. They were then the first country to pretend to have a medical crisis because really the virus was never particularly serious. The entire rest of the world then agreed to do the same pretend show of packed ICUs.
Then a number of vaccines were developed but they were all pretend, they all just give you blood clots or microchips, and scientists all around the world are in on this.
Since China is still engaging in extreme quarantine measures, their economy has sunk like a stone. They’ve really committed to the pretense.
And now Fauci wants to develop a deadlier strain of covid because…reasons. And then…we’re going to have fake vaccines for that?
It all makes so much sense…I’m through the looking glass.
Ah sorry, just realized how much of a hijack this rant is…
“Boston University researchers claim to have developed new Covid strain that’s less lethal than the original strain in mice” wouldn’t have gotten many clicks.
The most common Fox News headline these days is some version of “Unknowns On Twitter Attack Left-Wing Figure We Don’t Like”.
Looking at this article made me realize that Fox news makes very deceptive use of hyperlinks. They give the impression that the story is sourced and that one could if one wanted to follow up towards that source to get more details but in the end they end up dry.
Reading the first sentence
Researchers at Boston University say they have developed a new COVID strain
One might think that the link would tell us more about the specific strain, but nope all you get is a search of “COVID” on fox news.
Later in the article you see the sentence
The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida and Boston at the school’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.
Which in any normal news organization would take you to an external site about those scientist’s research, but nope in Fox land it just takes you to the Fox search page on “science”.
Checking out other articles on the Fox website is seems that there is a strict rule that hyperlinks may only lead to other locations on the Fox news website. They must eliminate any possibility that a reader might find their way outside the bubble.
ETA: Oh and for those who are actually interested in what is really going on with the research, here is BU’s press release about the controversy (hint its all bullshit)
Can Boston U make a winning libel case here?
