Bullshit Fox News Says

Of course, if our schools actually taught real history, kids would learn about all those other times conservative white people got people riled up to justify genocide.
 
Get ready for the Fox Weather Channel.

Later this year, Rupert Murdoch is set to debut Fox Weather, a 24-hour streaming channel that promises to do for seven-day forecasts what Fox has done for American politics, financial news and sports. Not to be outdone, the Weather Channel — granddaddy of television meteorology — announced the creation of a new streaming service, Weather Channel Plus, that the company believes could reach 30 million subscribers by 2026.

“All the networks are ramping up for this,” said Jay Sures, a co-president of United Talent Agency who oversees its TV division. “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that climate change and the environment will be the story of the next decade.” One of his firm’s clients, Ginger Zee, the chief meteorologist at ABC News, now has 2.2 million Twitter followers — more than any ABC News personality besides George Stephanopoulos.

So Fox News gets people to ignore climate channel and now they're going to cash in on the weather havoc.
 
Sheesh, dividing up the Weather Channel demographic is an interesting ploy.

There's got to be significant overlap between the Weather Channel and Fox News demographics. I think Fox News is trying to keep their people. I don't think this is going to be like Fox Sports which is mostly separate from Fox News.
 
Yeah, that's right. Fox's initial challenge will be getting buy-in from cable providers.
 
It'll be good to finally have someone tell us CLEARLY which marginalized group God is punishing with each weather event.

It'll probably be like the Fox Business Channel, which, in-between all of the usual business and stock market news, openly promotes right-wing talking points the same as Carlson or Hannity or any of the other shills on Fox News. "Today several tornadoes swept across the Midwest with a strong storm front, and Tropical Storm Angela is gathering strength in the Caribbean. Now, let's discuss how climate change is a liberal hoax and why God is using those tornadoes to punish gays in Oklahoma City. More weather updates at the top of the hour!"
 
All joking aside, they’re probably going to be fairly straight up weather coverage with more ridiculous fearmongering and lots of attractive weather women to sexually harass who can point at a map and know nothing about meteorology.

I’m in!
 
Gotta love how Republicans claim they’re being spied on as an admission that they’re committing treason.
