FOX news is a GOP/Nazi mouth piece. I would expect nothing less from them.

Well, today I learned that the scrolling text on the news is called ~~chryon~~ chyron text.

Edit: thanks [email protected] for the spelling correction

Headline is a typo; it's "chyron"

Yeah I saw that, but I didn’t want to alter the headline. I figured it’s close enough.

Fox News is a joke

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's gross, but not surprising. Fox is just being Fox while it's drooling, struggled to pass the GED, sycophants just drink it up.

I guess Fox is trying to get back into the good graces of Trump worshippers now that he's the GQP frontrunner for 2024. Fox lost a lot of their cultist audience to the more unhinged networks like Newsmax, One America, Blaze TV, etc.

They are so fucking whiny and fragile. They’re the opposite of the tough guy image they like to put out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Anyone who mistakes Trump for a tough guy, is a huge wuss. The man can’t even go outside when it’s humid because it’ll mess up his do.

this makes literally no sense

How is Biden conscious enough to actively get Trump arrested. I bet he didn't even know what shoes he was wearing until he looked down.

This implies that people running for President should be immune from the law or that the President directly controls the actions of the DoJ. Though I don't think that the people believing this care about that either.

What happened to the "dementia biden" narrative they were pushing? I guess this is what doublethink is, or as I call it: Schrödinger's Politician; a superposition of both weak and tyrannical.

I think this is the time to bring up the Umberto Eco quote:

"Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."

-Ur-Fascism, by Umberto Eco

Schrödinger’s Politician

Trump himself was supposed to "drain the swamp" as he's the only one "strong enough" to do it, but his own DOJ never brought charges against Hillary because they're corrupt and "woke." But also, Back the Blue fits in there somewhere.

Their narrative is whatever sounds convenient for the 5 seconds it takes to get to the end of the sentence. There's no coherent ideology that binds it all together, because it's so self-contradictory that would be impossible.
