"The horror! . . . The horror!" . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Howard Klurtz!!!



Howard ("Fox won't let me wear my straight-jacket on air" ) Kurtz is saying:"And if you want to see how radically unfair the media can be just look at The Washington Post. . . . By this time four years ago, they had already a fact checker keeping track of President Trump's so called 'misleading claims,' but apparently Joe Biden gets a pass. . . . They haven't even called him a liar once yet. . . . . Whereas disparaging Trump for supposed inaccuracies became a minor industry. . . . By this time in his presidency the Post claimed to have found over 100 such 'lies' in his speeches and both official and off-hand remarks, but by all accounts they haven't even started looking for Biden's lies and prevarications. . . . How's that for bias?"


**************************************************

Above CAPTION is satire based on his conversations with guests 2.7.21.

we try to channel our subjects' stupidity, irrational anger, gullibility, or, as here, duplicity, et al. for the purposes of satire.

We also try to copy their speech patterns vocabulary, etc. which is why it's easy to overlook the satire.

The joke might have been a bit subtle: Biden has not told lies, that is why the Post doesn't report any, but people with Kurtz's mentality want to see an equivalence.
