What Fox News Wants You To Ignore

Hint: you can’t handle it

I flipped on Fox News last night. Jesse Watters Primetime. There was big breaking news, and I wanted to monitor the situation without looking at my phone. For some reason, watching a big TV doesn’t seem as bad as scrolling on a handheld version. If you’re a panican like me, nuclear winter was averted (thank God, because that would have seriously messed up my Masters plans this weekend). And if, on the other hand, you’re a plan-truster and believe there are always moves being played on the 4D-chessboard invisible to us common folk, the art of the deal was just executed to near perfection.

A man by the 1950s Hollywood movie star name of Clifford May was on the screen, yucking it up with Jesse about the recently announced two-week “ceasefire” between the U.S. and Iran. There was more breaking news, as well. Sirens were blaring in Tel Aviv. Missiles were flying. Apparently, a bunch of Islamic paramilitary yokels hadn’t quite gotten the memo yet from the IRGC. This is a super, super important fact, one I’ll return to later when I drop about 30,000 pounds of truth bombs straight onto the corporate media’s thick but empty heads. Collectively, they are purposely making the fog of war worse than it has to be because the “experts” they rely upon are serving hidden, even nefarious, agendas.
