Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Nah. BUNCH of white folk who can't stop talking about how great the service is at chik fil a and how they teach people to respect customers will lap this up. Same with the people who insist that chikfila makes the best chicken on the planet because even a single spec of spice would give them an upset tum-tum and the pickle marinade means they can overcook the white meat without turning it into powder.

People are probably too young to remember but there was very much a time when fox news was "center right" compared to CNN's "center left" and was mostly billed around being "fair and balanced". Shit like this is an attempt to get conservative-lite programming out there in preparation for the inevitable push back of mask off bigotry after November.
