Followed by no source. I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke, but it presents as a statement of fact. "Fox News has been advised" by literally who, and what numbers do we have that the viewers "are finding it appealing"? Anyone can "advise Fox News". Fox News, if you're listening: get more fiber in your diet. Make sure you take breaks to stand up and walk around if sitting for prolonged periods.
It's only fake news if it doesn't support my cause
This statement is true cause I believe it is.
I would lambast you both for the obvious laziness of your rationality but since you clearly ~~are my tribe~~ have the same viewpoint as me then I'll ignore any amount of irrationality.
Well i believe this statement with its reactions as truth.
I would be outraged if you didn't
It's posted in c/politicalmemes. So yeah, it's a joke.
Damn, then it's depressingly unfunny.
If I make some shit up and post it in /c/politicalmemes without actually trying to be funny, can I similarly write it off as "jk bro don't take everything so seriously" whenever someone points out that it's bullshit? Did we not learn our lesson from "it's just a meme bro" as a justification after 2016 when disinformation in memes got a white supremacist conman elected president?
I thought it was funny.
Humor is subjective.
Well it's at least as thoroughly fact checked as Fox "News"
"In our case, NEWS is an ancronym that stands for Not Even Weally newS."
It's a joke.
Vetsoftheseas at least.
Or, the ever useful "Some people say"
