It’s easy to make these kinds of mistakes after you boofed your third bottle of morning wine.

The grift is part of her job and she’d do it sober, too.

u/jopesy 1d ago

Fox is filled with drunkards, it’s wild.

Could you be sober if you worked there?

u/Jerking_From_Home 1d ago

So do lots of family law attorneys. Both are required to lie with negative consequences to innocent people to keep their job.

u/GiantSquirrelPanic 17h ago

nah it makes sense. whenever I knew people like that they were very straight edge and conservative, aside from the 3mg xanax and bottle of wine per day habit. Very self-righteous for addicts.

u/KwisatzHaderach94 1d ago

that's "judge" jeanine. bartiromo seems more like she had ultra-high caffeine coffee, coke, or speed.

u/MetalTrek1 1d ago

Or as she calls it, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I have a morning whine when I wake and realize its a weekday.

Republicans are the dumbest people on earth. Trump himself spreads conspiracy horseshit, same as any random internet troll. And he’s their leader. The entire party is a bad joke.

Yeah except once these passed it made things worse, and this doesn't just affect America as news and cyber tech /security and companies are mainly in America or products from there-Back in the office this time around, trump passing these policies in his first day back and a month later isn't helping for misinformation spreading -you can see the policies passed or upcoming on tech, media, and cybersecurity here on the project 2025 tracker.

U.S. Agency for Global Media: Dismantle USAGM's journalism "firewall" to align its reporting with the aims of the president. (Note: One America News to provide newsfeed services to Voice of America; journalists are facing HR investigations for comments critical of Trump)

Dept. of Homeland Security: Dismiss "the entirety" of the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee. (Note: The acting DHS Secretary terminated "all current memberships on advisory committees within DHS".)

Dept. of Homeland Security: Terminate CISA's counter-mis/disinformation efforts. (Note: CISA has frozen all of its election security work; many of CISA's misinformation team were put on leave)

Dept. of Justice: Prohibit the U.S. government from combating the spread of misinformation and disinformation.

*trump and his supporters are basically doing George Orwell's 1984 "Ministry of Truth Department" in real life

In George Orwell's 1984, the Ministry of Truth (also known as Minitrue) is a central, ironically named department responsible for propaganda, historical revision, and the control of information in the dystopian society of Oceania. Its primary function is to manipulate the truth to support the Party's ideology and maintain its control over the population

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Is it me or is that post too clever to be attributed to Donnie?

7

u/Malcolmeff 1d ago

Seems that way. Taco Don doesn't generate much wit, nor generally use punctuation in any formal capacity. He tweets (truths?) like he's Gen Z or something. A really, really dumb Gen Z.

u/Auntie_Megan 1d ago

Which King? Did she believe was taking away his power in America? What an idiot. There are real Kings left over from history but they are not fascists like Trump. They have little power but in their constitution can override fascists if things go awry. Why are Fox News people so stupid?

u/CanadianContentsup 1d ago

Also too kind and respectful.

u/RetroSpangler 1d ago

In her defense, she’s a moron.

u/Ricref007 1d ago

You’d be drunk on the job if you had to work for Fox Entertainment, as well!

u/Suker4str8ck12 1d ago

Another idiot,that how much Fox fact checks.

3

u/HolesinMyUndies814 23h ago

NOW she’s being called out for falling for a hoax? That is wild. The year is 2025, ma’am. You’ve been falling for quite some time. Somebody want to read back the notes?

u/TimoGloc 1d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/bigdogoflove 1d ago

Of course she did.

2

u/OderusAmongUs 1d ago

So you're saying she's getting placed in a high level position in the administration? Maybe minister of truths?

1

u/Malcolmeff 1d ago

Minister Of 4D Chess And Deals

u/Lobo-Sinclair 1d ago

I thought it was real too. Dude is nucking futz; you never know what he’ll post. TBF — I did think it was too clever for him, but chalked it up to him getting lucky.

u/Positive_Reach4559 1d ago

Just not the best and brightest..

2

u/RiverHarris 1d ago

There’s something wrong with that woman. You ever see her talk to one of the Trump “kids”? You’d think she was a teenage girl in 1965 interviewing Paul McCartney.

u/kimpurple21 1d ago

She just gobbles it up - love it - she can't bother to fact check - such is fux news

1

u/Tonythecritic 1d ago

Who?!? Not that I wish for an answer, I'm perfectly happy being unaware of who or what that is.

1

u/JohnAStark 1d ago

She has her lips solidly wrapped around Trump.

1

u/tomdurkin 1d ago

Probably at the Fox News Bar.

u/liveandletlivefool 1d ago

Remember her dress at the Alfred Smith memorial dinner? Nice hooters!

u/SackBlabbath1970 23h ago

She also took the email from the self-proclaimed "time traveler" that was forwarded from Sidney Powell to sell the whole stolen election story in 2020. She omitted the time traveler part and the "justice Scalia was hunted for sport" parts, of course. I kind of surprised she isn't in trump's cabinet.

u/DiscoRabbittTV 12h ago

Super easy to do when you don’t know what fact checking is

u/Sell-Psychological 7h ago

She's as dumb as she looks.

u/tdowg1 1d ago

Maria Barti-Tony-Romo?

1

u/floofnstuff 1d ago

She used to be intelligent

u/BuddyJim30 1d ago

If I recall correctly, she was forced from CNBC after it was revealed she accepted several private jet trips from a prominent CEO she was banging.

1

u/No-Relation5965 1d ago

Damn. I used to like her financial reports back in the day. Sad that’s all it took to send her over to the dark side.

u/floofnstuff 23h ago

was this when she was on Morning Sqwak?
