New York Magazine's Horror: Invasion of the Fox News Body Snatchers
Newsbusters ^ | April 10, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 04/10/2019 11:54:38 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

New York Magazine published an article on Tuesday by Luke O'Neil, writing from a very dark place. It's titled "What I’ve Learned From Collecting Stories of People Whose Loved Ones Were Transformed by Fox News" to the extent that it comes off as a parody of itself that could be called "Invasion of the Fox News Body Snatchers." [Scary Hannity image is theirs.]

He tweeted "I asked a bunch of people how it felt watching their family members be stolen from them by Fox News over the years". Read O'Neil's sad but unintentionally hilarious tale of loved ones who supposedly became mind-numbed robots (or pod people) due to watching Fox News and I guarantee you will burst out laughing.

It is sad when loved ones and respected friends stop chasing unicorns.

I vaguely remember Saturday Night Live doing a parody of the movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” back around 1980, where the possessed folks were Ronald Reagan supporters. This article sounds very much like it.

All the New York Magazines writers and editors need prescrirtion therapy, a few lines more of the crack they are now consuming, just a little more so their heads can explode.

Alternate Universe is where the magazines writers and editors live. Give them a nudge over so they do not return from it!

You mean similar to that 145-tweet “tweetstorm” that Seth Abramson posted back in the fall of 2017, which got ridiculed by too many other people on Twitter?

Well, heck. We all know that the Fox News Zombies are only looking for people with brains to absorb.

Reminds me of that old joke:


An alien walked into a shop and told the owner that he came from Mars and wanted to buy a brain for research.

ALIEN: How much is this one?

BRAIN SHOP OWNER: That one is a monkey brain, and it's $20

ALIEN: How much is that one?

BRAIN SHOP OWNER: That one is a Conservative brain, and it's $100

ALIEN: And how much is that one?'' the alien asked.

BRAIN SHOP OWNER: That one is a Leftist's brain and it is $10,000

ALIEN: What? Why so expensive?

BRAIN SHOP OWNER: Well, it's hardly been used!

Excellent example of progressive pathology. Those who themselves tow a very stringent, politically correct, don’t deviate an inch from the narrative project their failings on others. They project on others to have the very mind numbed robotic affect that they suffer.

FNC began its journey to the dark side three years ago.

As soon as it solves its 8 pm to 11 pm weeknights problem, the mask will be completely off.

Man this is terrible. To be controlled by a news organization like Fox that leaves making up our minds on the news to ourselves. Queue up the Oh the huge Manatee meme! Much better to be run by the freaks and liars of the LINERAL LYING FLYING MONKEY MEDIA

Wearing capri pants. Check.

And a nose ring. Check.

And a sickle tattoo. Check.

And a greasy stringy beard. Check.

And an eminently unpleasant countenance. Check.

And a flat brimmed baseball cap. Check.

Yep.

Check.

A pretext for the brutal oppression every Democrat craves.

Having, for all practical purposes, ridded the so-called "public square" of the fountainhead of references to the Founders' acknowledgement of the Source of all human knowledge, wisdom and understanding--a "Supreme Being"--the "Progressive Church's people" are left with vacuous references to "our values" as a reference point.

Thus, there is no source book, no "copy book headings" to go by, no real foundation or solid footing on which to base ideas of liberty, of freedom, or of a lawbook from which one might base his/her understanding of the oft-referenced "rule of law."

As with a classroom of school children confronting a teacher's instructions, "because I told you so" is not enough. A nation of freedom-loving people need to have a source book and a Source for asserting their rights and liberties, as well as the laws which they claim can protect those rights and liberties.

Progressivism is, like one of its most recent "star" leaders, an "empty suit" full of empty claims to rights and liberties.

With Russell Kirk, those who wish to "conserve" the ideas of liberty and freedom must insist, over and over again, the claim of that great wisdom book of the ages: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." - Holy Bible

BRAIN SHOP OWNER: Alternate ending

You know how many liberals we have to go through to get enough for one brain?

I read it, hoping to laugh, but like most Leftists who are trying to be clever or funny, the author was only able to employ the F-word as a prop and that was it.

Leftists. Can’t control their mouths. Can’t control their emotions. Can’t control their actions.
