The news here is that they are putting psychics on the fucking news, wtf
They were on Fox, they weren’t on the news.
Fox don’t report the news, they report things that they feel should have happened if the world was just according to their values. You’d get more accurate reporting out of a 6-year-old when they’re telling you who ate all the chocolate.
Their values seem to be “willful ignorance and stupidity, zero class and zero dignity… a mindless free-for-all!”.
News
Fox news
One of these is not like the other
More like Faux News
I read this headline yesterday and it made me think of a time when California Psychics had commercials all over the place. A few hours later, I saw a California Psychics commercial on prime time NBC. The world is getting dumberer by the minute.
Damn, I haven’t thought of those commercials in ages. What a throwback!
Well every late night memory of Miss Cleo has now fired.
“CALL ME NAO!”
AHHHHHH THAT WAS IT!!!
I was going to make the joke too but I couldn’t remember her name!

Have you tried drinking water without lead in it, because it just doesn’t taste the same.
Those words are sinominous.
I think you mean cinnamonious.
This is on the Jesse Waters show which is on the channel called Fox News. It should be noted that a majority of Fox News shows are actually talk shows and opinion segments, not straight news.
Rupie has done an excellent job convincing people on both sides that the entirety of Fox News’ airtime is to be considered news because it’s the name of the channel and it has a news ticker on the bottom
"I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” he said. Then he suggested a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news’ news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.”
I couldn’t find the original article in my history, but this segment had me infuriated… This chucklefuck looks to Fox news as a good model for them to replicate on CNN…

Brb getting my name legally changed to Absolute Truefacts
So much work. Just start a meme page and present “news” via memes. Bam, instant Facebook cancer. Shit like “it takes 21,000 gallons of diesel fuel to make and transport the lithium batteries in your testla charged by coal plants. My F350 commuter burns 3 gallons to get across town. Who is the pollute now?” [ignore the entire fuel refinery process and economy of scale] - follow Absolute Truefacts for more smoothbrain digestable content!
More empirical than their usual analysis.
And History Channel is running Ancient Aliens.
Network was a documentary. Remember that the “TV Generation” that they talk about in that movie are the Boomers.
This is actually really smart on her part. She’s banking on the most gullible portion of society to believe everything she says, on Fox News, no less, so they think she’s automatically legit. And even if they boo or even hate her at this point, if things go south for Trump, you can bet they’ll be looking her up to see what else she has to say because she “simply said what she saw”. And thats when she’ll start raking in the big bucks with personal consultations.
Damn. She scammed the scammers to scam the dummies.
No, she allied with the scammer.
It’s weird to me that they wouldn’t just arrange the cards to create the narrative they want to sell. Psychics know it’s a con, otherwise they wouldn’t try so hard to spin the results.
I don’t know. Some believe the con so much that they end believing it more than their customers (source: my mother who does it for free for her friends)
Same, my mother absolutely believes it, so much so that she refuses to do it for family and friends because she doesn’t want to see anything bad with anyone she knows.
Same with reiki, she tried it on me once and asked if I felt anything, which I obviously didn’t so I said as much and her reply was “oh, well that’s probably because you don’t believe in it.”
I love you mom, but that’s called a placebo.
Is your mom my mom? Are we siblings? That’s EXACTLY what my mother is like
It’s weird how tarot cards can never actually predict anything useful isn’t it? You know like it would be really convincing if they could tell me what next week’s lottery numbers are.
One of my sister’s friends is into this stuff and yet she still managed to get a speeding ticket, you’d have thought she’d seen that one coming.
Thats a fundamental misunderstanding what is claimed to be offered. I dont even believe in this, but you have to understand how dumb that sounds right? Tarot doesnt claim to give you a minute by minute breakdown of every day for the next week.
There’s a very surprising percentage of people who believe more or less in astrology, numerology and other predictive bullshitology. Even in developed countries with a good level of education.
I mean, sure some people believe it, but to be successful at it, you have to engage in the grift. Because it doesn’t actually work. You have to massage the story to get people hooked and make them think you’re telling them something valuable. Reading tarot cards for fun isn’t the same as building a business around your psychic abilities.
It’s the difference between playing with a Ouija board and telling the police that a victim has contacted you from beyond the grave for the reward money. Belief in the former can be sincere, but you don’t do the second part unless you know it’s a con.
Iirc on fox news they control the narrative and the presentation, but they never control the guests. Usually the guests just go along with it (because why else would you go on fox news). But they already had some earlier instances where they tried to cut off interviewees because they had polar opposite opinions.
I mean…
If you’re suggesting the psychic herself should have done that…she doesn’t owe them anything, and this gets WAY more people talking about her.
“It’s true! I’m not making it up!” said the fucking psychic.
And their Christofascist fans don’t even realize it’s a sin to consult a psychic.
It’s only a sin when they disagree with the results.
Its only a sin when they think it is
It’s crazy that she was on a “news segment” as a whole. Like wow, running out of material, huh?

Is it supposed to be the astronaut with a gun meme?
I can’t work it out either I think I’m going to have to go and drink a quartz of vodka and then come back and have a look at it.
a flinth of bourbon
It’s loss.
I don’t know what that means
Never heard of that before I’m not quite sure why the relevant to the situation though the astronaut one would have been better
The comic was called “Loss” because it was about the comic character losing his unborn child. It became a meme because it didn’t fit the tone of the comic series (normally about gaming and non serious stuff).
So now when anyone mentions the word “loss” (as OP did in the title of this post), people meme about it in some way. Usually by posting a minimalist version of the comic.
For an in-depth deconstruction of the meme, there’s no better source than this guy. The mega compilation: https://imgur.com/gallery/Z4oT8uJ
It’s a meme or maybe comic that’s referenced like one.
Loss is a 4 panel comic of (1) guy going to a hospital, (2) asking someone at desk for directions, (3) talking to doctor about their loved one, and (4) mourning over said love one lying in bed.
It’s pretty bad. I can really only tell because it’s 4 distinct objects and what the headline is about.
It’s like when a 4-year-old draws a dinosaur, but you only know that because he told you that he was drawing a dinosaur.
I see what you did there.
Fine… Your loss. 🙃
DAMMIT
^take ^my ^upvote
They deserve this 100% for having a fucking psychic on what they call a news channel. Meanwhile, that psychic is awesome for trolling everyone.
To give them credit, it’s tarot cards and not new age stuff.
Thank goodness it’s this one unfalsifiable meaningless bullshit and not that other unfalsifiable meaningless bullshit
It’s more authentic bullshit!
A sense of loss!? That is pure CYA bullshit. Even if he wins, she can still say she was right.

- CYA Bullshit
He’ll lose the popular vote again, even if he wins the EC.
The dems should have gotten rid of the EC when Gore “lost”. Instead, they got a repeat scenario with Hillary. Will Biden make it a threepeat?
What would it take to get rid of it? IIRC we’d need a Constitutional amendment, right? I mean there’s also the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It wouldn’t technically get rid of the EC, but same difference afaik. (I just worry about that one bc even if enough states agree, it seems like it could be relatively easily killed by a court decision or new legislation.)
Dunno. But they didn’t even try. Even when they held the majority in both houses of Congress and the presidency.
Uh huh.
Well, for one thing, you should probably know what it takes to change the Constitution before crying about how Democrats didn’t convince half of the sitting Republicans to sign a bill that would prevent a Republican from being President for the foreseeable future.
And then get it ratified by 2/3 of the states. The last time that was tried was with the ERA in the 70s and they couldn’t even agree that people should be treated equally.
Why does this woman look exactly like Sigourney Weaver in a comically large wig?
“OMG Ellen Ripley watch out the orange monster! It’s on your HEAD!”
Maybe that gives her the powers?
It’s a Half Life/Alien cross-over
She is clearly trolling Fox News by pretending to be a psychic.
I hate it when all these fakers take jobs away from the real psychics.
Nah. Psychic is just woke
World’s first real psychic.
They really should’ve seen this coming.
So we´re safe, right?
“Backfired” insofar as no one cares at all, yet people are trying to dunk on Republicans over this absolutely boring piece of nothing?
Yes. The right feels so ashamed that this two-bit psychic implied sadness by Trump on Fox News. We won!!!
I promise you, more Democrats than Republicans have seen and cared about this. We’re winning! A psychic said so! They’re the crazy ones, not us!!
For fucks sake, yall.
We’re winning! A psychic said so!
Not really seeing anybody saying this. The sentiment moreso seems that it’s just laughing at fox news stupidity.
It’s Fox News, they’ve definitely seen it. Also, apparently some of these nutjobs clearly believe in psychics, why else would they have one as a guest?
Are we sure it’s not Rachel Dratch in a wig doing a bit for Last Week Tonight?
