“In national news, far-left liberal lawmakers are attempting to turn the world of Equus into a nature preserve after a British camera crew was mauled by wild animals. That was bound to happen sooner or later. Fox News has recovered exclusive footage of the camera crew’s final moments.”
The same clip that was played by CNN plays.
“As you can see, the crew’s final moments were absolutely terrifying. Let’s play that again in slow-mo.”
The clip plays again, slowed down to emphasize the violence.
“I’m getting reports that the was an American among the casualties. This is an outrage! These stupid pastel horses ought to be exterminated as the pests they are. Conservative lawmakers are attempting to pass legislation allowing us to annex Equus, but are, of course, running into fierce opposition from far-left environmentalist extremists. More updates as they happen.”
i dislike fox news when it comes to it
Okay, I know this is meant to be a parody, but Fox News does not act like this at all.
Now, how Earth would react to the existence of Equestria is up to anyone's imagination, but somehow I don't think this would be it.
This is the same Fox News that settled out of court for $787,500,000 for knowingly making false statements about Dominion Voting Systems (regarding election fraud) and then retracted those false statements on air as part of the settlement. Internal Fox documents proved the network knew what they were broadcasting was false (which would make it fake news).
Their defense was they were stating opinions (reminder, this is supposedly a 'news' channel, not an 'opinion' channel). It turns out opinions aren't news, and false statements are still considered slander. Fox News: For entertainment purposes only. Not to be taken seriously. At all.
Just because something is a parody doesn't mean there isn't truth behind the humor.
