      That 100% looks like an SNL skit, down to the wacky clown makeup on the right. Was this an actual fucking broadcast on fox?

        Not that anyone asked, but I think her makeup looks nice. Her expression in this frame, on the other hand, I find hilarious.

        But apart from that detail, I fully agree. This is some wacky shit. Come to think of it, maybe the “reporter” is just trying and failing to keep a straight face lmao

          I really cant tell, but it looks like one of fox news actual looney toons hosts, Janine pirro, who is an ex judge that is full qanon/stop the steal/covid denial crazy.

          If I recall correctly, her crazy ass statements were one of the reasons that Fox settled for 800mil to Dominion, and im sure will be spending some more billions to smartamatic and others.

          It’s either actually her, her with a photoshopped story, or SNL has amped it up a ways.

          She’s always trying to keep a straight face, she works for Fox “news” where their daily meetings on that days news involves important news worthy conversations like “Mr.potatohead gender controversy” and “m&m sexyness.”

          Biden releasing bears that “will totally 100% come to your door, steal your beer and your spouse, and become a communist leader in the community,” would rank as one of the more serious stories they’d tell.

            Well, I guess a broken clock is right twice a day. It’d be hard for them not to talk about the bears, tho. Shit’s been crazy out here.

        Don’t know about the image but they have published this story at least twice on their website in the last month. This looks comparatively sane compared with the chosen headlines

    As a measure to counter the obesity epidemic this should be pretty effective. Introducing apex predators generally leads to more ecologically healthy habitats.

    Let’s see how this gets spun into some made up woke agenda grooming LGBTQ panic rhetoric. I sense wild stories coming up.

      “Now, Tom, are these bears large, hairy, homosexual men with a penchant for pulling off spiked leather outfits and absconding with the innocence of children?”

      “No? Ahem, no, this is part of an environmental initiative by the parks and wildlife department. These are Kodiak grizzlies, and a few pola-“

      “So- so sleepy Joe Biden can’t even understand why the queer community loves bears, Tom? Sorry, we’re out of time.”

      I had to look it up. And yes. It’s real.

      The actual story is there’s a plan to release grizzlies in a Washington forest to restore the population. The Fox News idiots heavily quoted a spokesman from the National Cattleman’s Beef Association (and several other obvious corporate stooges) with very little representation of the other side. They’re drumming up how the administration is “introducing” an apex predator to the area, carefully neglecting to mention that this was their natural habitat.

      I miss the Fairness Doctrine. I miss the time before the 24-hour news cycle. I miss when the person on TV had an obligation to at least pretend to try to give you the news without editorializing the hell put of it.
