What timeline is this again? Psychics are on news channels now? Not mention one with an extremely large user base that would have this go against their theology? I can’t even.
As proven long ago, Fox News is not news, it's all editorials. Every last person on the air is a pundit, there are no reporters. They don't report the news, they report their opinions on the news. That's why they have a "psychic" on one of their shows, to provide an opinion on what's going to happen. It's all just for show...
It wasn't meant to be a prediction though. It was meant to be incredibly broad satire. I mean the last line of the movie is- "This was the story of Howard Beale: The first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings."
And honestly, if Fox could have just taken Tucker out with a .22 to the back of the head, they would have totally done that.
My dad was not right-wing, but he went from us watching The McNeil-Lehrer Newshour once a day in the 80s to being glued to CNN and MSNBC all day. Almost literally all day once he retired. They found an American addiction and learned to feed it. For my dad, and I think a lot of people, it was a combination of the first Iraq war and the OJ live chase. Suddenly you could watch something really amazing that was news in real time whenever you turned on your TV.
They defended a slander lawsuit that was against Tucker Carlson. They suggested that no reasonable viewer would take what he said as fact. Seems pretty damning.
Its on Fox "News", not a real news channel. You shouldn't be surprised that woowoo bunk is being put on the channel that's been spreading objectively falsifiable bunk for as long as they've been on air.
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.
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.
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...
“But it’s very specific. Let me move on. It’s a sense of loss,” she added. “It’s as if he may be thinking more about what he’s lost and not still taking full advantage of what he still has.”
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.
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."
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.
Following up her prediction of “loss” for Trump and “lots of money” for Biden, Roberts said Americans should expect “great happiness” this year.
“I mean, that’s just full of joy, happiness, contentment. It’s actually a funny way of putting it, it is as big as the money card is. It’s a big, big, big, big, happy.”
naw. most of the people this would have been anything other than 'hah that's funny' to, are dismissing it as superstition, by condeming it with their own superstitions.
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?
I mean, I don't believe in this shit but "a sense of loss" could be anything. It could mean Trump's loss in the election, or the loss of democracy in the US as we know it (i.e. trump wins). I'm a way it's a very fitting card either way.
I don't know if she proceeded to "analyze" the card any further.
It's Tarot, the trick is that you can spin it anyway you want: "Oh this card means a sense of loss, he will probably lose the election" or "Oh this card symbolizes the sense of loss a lot of his opponents will feel when he wins" or "This means that for him to emerge victorious he will have to leave many things that he holds dear behind"
She's a bad psychic but more importantly a bad con woman.
It could mean he takes a really big shit. Personally, I love that feeling of vacancy after a very large bowel movement. It's a very comfortable sense of loss.
I hope history remembers that the same month NASA announced it was studying UFOs is the same month one of the Voyager probes started going nuts. I want to be a dramatic moment for people in the future that really summarized well our decent into next dark ages.
Hmm, but not the tower or chariot? Death isn't assigned the meaning you think it is. It is more about reaping what you sow, or receiving a change to your life, than dealing with death itself. Not saying I believe the meanings, but I know what they are meant to represent.
Is the actual video on an embedded tweet in the article? Because my privacy badger is blocking twitter widgets. Does anyone have a direct link to the video?
