Summary
Fox News reporter Chad Pergram challenged Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming Democrats for a potential government shutdown over funding bill opposition.
After Johnson claimed Democrats would be “responsible for every troop who misses a paycheck” if they reject his “clean CR,” Pergram pointed out this implies Republicans lack sufficient votes.
Johnson insisted “we’ll have the votes” despite reports that House Republicans plan to vote against the bill, claiming Democrats should “do the responsible thing.”
We did it! We pushed the Overton Window so far to the right that Fox News became woke!
That already happened back in 2020 when Fox called the election for Biden. MAGATs melted down, called Fox “radical leftists” and vowed to give their views to even more regressive outlets.
What is the political-lean equivalent of integer overflow?
“Falling out of the overton window, russian oligarch style”
Horseshoe theory
Which is as true a theory as The Big Bang Theory. And no, I do not mean that sarcastically.
Nah, integer overflow is a real thing that happens.
That’s why I use chars no one ever talks about char overflows.
No app with more than 255 of anything should exist anyway.
To be fair, it’s a Murdoch property as is the Wall Street Journal… and the WSJ is pissed because Trump is fucking up the economy.
I honestly am a little surprised there hasn’t been more pushback from FOX News just yet, because WSJ is basically done with this shit. But there are cracks showing in FOX News coverage as well.
Check this shit out, Fox posted this on fb when Bill Burr said that stuff about how we should treat “differently affluent” people (that’s my new euphemism, like it?)
I thought it seemed weirdly anti-oligarchy for them and the comments were almost entirely pro-Burr. Interesting times we live in for sure
Fox learned during his first term that if they push too hard their viewers just go to Newsmax instead.
That’s what’s so scary about this beast Murdoch and co have created. They thought they could pump out fake news for decades and people would believe whatever they wanted, allowing them to control the narrative.
It worked for a while, but then others realized how gullible the Fox News crowd was - and saw they could go even further into the crazy. Fox News now is basically in a spot where they have no choice but to push crazier shit than they actually want to. If they say the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, their viewers jump ship to someone who will tell them that it was.
many of the young viewers abandoed it for oan/newsmax and right wing grifters. Its the milleneals and older that still is on fox.
I’d say Trump is about to learn what happens when you fuck with the money, but he’s literally incapable of learning.
I’m so proud of us. We’re all grown up and fascist. Brings a single tear to my eye, ya know, bcz I’m not some woke bleeding heart liberal.
I’ve always thought of the political spectrum more like a circle.
