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.
is fox news considered a news channel now?
It shouldn't be, but I do see it on TVs in public more often than any other news I think which is concerning
News used to be 60 minutes just after prime time. Now they have whole channels with news 24/7/365. Have to fill all that air time with something
24 hour news is a blight. TBH 24 hours everything except for emergencies and medical services is a blight.
Isn't it technically 'light entertainment' or some shit so legally it's not obliged to report any facts?
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.
You should watch the movie “Network” from the 1970s sometime. It predicted the trash that is news programming these days.

Psychics are on news channels now?
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.
I turned on the news the other day and was lucky enough to catch the 10 minute segment on the new fucking kia the local dealership just got in stock.
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.
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
More empirical than their usual analysis.
“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 because Trump is A LOSER.
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)
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 insane that people not only watch this channel, but actually believe they're more informed for doing so.

A sense of loss!? That is pure CYA bullshit. Even if he wins, she can still say she was right.
- Psychic
- CYA Bullshit
Why does this woman look exactly like Sigourney Weaver in a comically large wig?
I want to believe!
Let's make it happen
Nah. Psychic is just woke
World's first real psychic.
I’m sure the tsunami of copium that followed was only matched by the waves of ketchup and smashed dinner plates running down the walls at Mar-A-Lago.
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.
This is fucking great.
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.
