    Nah. This is standard issue “look at these out of touch stupid liberals!” man on the street bottom of the barrel budget reporting.

    Its more a sign that FOX is cashing out on its news branch. They’ll happily keep airing this bullshit for an increasingly senile audience because content quality no longer really matters to the show runners.

      To us, it looks like Fox is making a mistake because the people they’re interviewing are obviously correct. To an average Fox viewer, anything other than deranged fearmongering looks like delusion.

        I mean, maybe. But this is pretty weak tea compared to the old “Steven Crowder makes college liberal cry” machismo shit that conservatives historically lead with.

        Having your weaselly correspondent get bullied on camera just hits different.
