better yet, just turn off the switch, lock the doors and turn the building into a parking garage.

Now this oughta be good.

The Faux Noise hosts have been at the forefront of the denial move by the administration. They’ve convinced their listeners that this is a hoax and it will all go away on 4 November.

How do they play that when they’re all likely to still be in quarantine on 4 November? Will they put plexiglass between the cushions on the couch on F&F? Zoom session with three nincompoops from home?? I hope someone will share what they worked out because this just shot down their last six months of broadcasts.

Or advisor… Awaiting silence from Pence, expecting a carefully worded announcement.

On paper it looks like the absolute best voter suppression tactic EVER. Get science believing and virus fearing Ds all whipped up about a deadly virus, when your R voters are too stoopid and tribal to give a fugg about who sickens and dies. Allow the spread and deadliness to ramp up and coincide with election day.

Let the Ds go fight the virus on the front lines, Rs will flout every law and use automatic weapons to ensure they can just keep partying in their Red, White, and Blue gear.

Based on actual turnout numbers, that strategery looks like a big fat dud.

That flight was overnight Thursday/Friday. Did any of those on the flight appear on camera over the weekend? Would have thought so-- if they covered the debate. So what about the staff (makeup, assistants, etc.) who came into contact with the Four Hoarsemen of the Foxpocalypse? How far does the sneeze radius extend? Fox and friends? And family, and the doorman, and building security, and anyone who rode an elevator with…

Here’s hoping.

Fox broadcasting from home… did they request their absentee ballots yet?

While I am giddily happy that the talking heads have been exposed and I dearly hope they experience much pain, I don’t wish this disease on any of their underlings. The cafeteria personnel on the Death Star didn’t deserve to die.

So they all will be broadcasting while hiding in their basements. Now, where have I heard that term recently?

I saw a clip of a F&F lately and they were all blathercasting from separate locations. Moreover, it’s my understanding the “stars” have all been phoning it in away from the studio.

IOW, they’ll take precautions for theirselves and their families while they send the lemmings out to test their obvious lies. It’s the FOX way.

Whether the accuracy of the above is true across the board I have no idea. A guy can only ingest so much Ondansetron.

More from their living rooms or home offices, but I’d like to see the other networks deride them for this.
