It’s often been said that instead of being a reputable source for news, Fox News instead comes closer to emulating a televised version of The Onion, the well-known satire news source.
Fox more than lived up to that billing on Tuesday morning’s episode of Fox & Friends when the hosts of the program apparently cited a conservative satire news outlet as the basis for their bizarre choice of topic, lowering the collective IQ of their viewers even further.
It all started when Fox & Friends host Clayton Morris warned the audience that they would have to “say goodbye to your favorite sprinkled doughnut.”
Morris held up a plate of palatable doughnuts and said, “They’re getting rid of doughnuts like these. Doesn’t the FDA have more important things to do than regulate sprinkles?”
It’s Sprinkle-ghazi! The newest Fox News conspiracy theory!
Morris then went into full ludicrous mode, frightening his viewers by telling them that if the FDA has their way then crackers, frozen pizza, popcorn, coffee creamers and canned frosting will all be prohibited.
“If you’re making some cookies once a year with your kids on the holidays, that’ll be banned,” Morris said.
And presto! A brand new talking point to bash President Obama with is born, for those who are afflicted with Obama Derangement Syndrome. No doubt that Fox News groupies all over America will be staring wistfully at their sprinkle-covered doughnuts in the coming days, wistfully wondering if it’s the last time their taste buds will ever get to savor those sprinkles, while imagining President Obama’s hand reaching out and snatching the sprinkly doughnuts, never to be seen again until the Republicans can regain power and resurrect the poor sprinkles.
