Fox and Friends 'Fact' Corrections

[shipperx]

From EW.com:

Once again, Saturday Night Live had a little fun with Fox & Friends, ending with a fast-moving scroll of a few things the fact-checkers wanted to set straight before going to break. Here’s this week’s list:

* At no time did our military fight a war against Cobra.
* The “T” in BLT does not stand for “terrorism.”
* Meteors are not coming to take your guns.
* It is not Roe vs. Dwayne Wade.
* Zero Dark Thirty is not a diet soda.
* The Vatican is not accessible through a wardrobe.
* Food stamps are not used to mail food.
* Armadillo is not Spanish for “arms dealer.”
* Navy Seals are not actual seals with laser beams on their heads.
* “That’s not a knife, this is a knife” is not the Australian National Anthem.
* At no time did the passengers on the Carnival Cruise ship become zombies.
* Beyonce cannot hypnotize animals.
* “Adele” is a singer. “A Dell” is a computer.
* Marco Rubio did not bring pasta back from China.
* The Staten Island Ferry will not give you money for teeth.
* More people died from gun violence last year than from walking into elevator shafts.
* The Constitution did not “write itself.”
* Bruno Mars is from Earth.
* There are no Americans in the Bible.
* Not all amputees kill their girlfriends.
* Zumba is not a secret form of Santeria.
* North Korea is not a Cloud City.
* A “pin code” and a “pine cone” are two different things.
* The kid on Modern Family did not start out in porn.
* Joe Biden’s teeth are real and do not pick up radio waves.
* Polar bears are rarely “asking for it.”
* Kobe beef is not meat from the flesh of Kobe Bryant.
* Plants are alive, but they cannot watch TV.
* A transgender is not a car that can be driven by men and women.
* God does not sneeze electricity.
* The similar names of the North Dakota and South Dakota are not a coincidence.

I don't understand. What is this - a list of things said on Fox News that weren't true? If so....:boggles:

It's a comedy sketch mocking Fox News' morning show "Fox and Friends" which stars three startlingly dense (and ideologically intense) "reporters". The assumption of the sketch is that it's the producers fact-checking the incredibly stupid things that Gretchen Carlson, Steve Doucey and the other idiot who isn't Steve Doucey have said.

And it's funny because there's enough truth in it to make it funny.

(Although I cannot remember who described them thus, my favorite description of the trio is as "Fox's morning howler-monkeys").
