Oops!

April 09, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Conservative pollster Frank Luntz was on Fox News yesterday and some graphics people on the network probably lost their job.

Talking about the detrimental effect that Trump’s tweets were having on the electorate, someone accidentally showed this graphic about how much networks are trusted —

 

Howard Kurtz immediately saw the mistake and sternly said, “That is not the graphic we are looking for. Hold off.  Take that down, please.”

Too late.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Be social and share!

  1. “Truth? What the hell is truth doing up there? Somebody could actually see it!”

  2. Spanky Drumpf can do without a Joseph Goebbels on his White House staff BECAUSE Fox News is his Ministry of Propaganda. Trust plays no role in the equation as near as I can tell.

    Oh boy, looks like somebody (Agents Scully and Mulder?) at FOX decided to go rogue and put the truth (X-files) out there.
    Wait for the purge.

    Not that I want to give Fox any credit, but I’ve been told that this graphic came up during the wrong story, which is when Kurtz asked for it to be taken down. Then it was shown later. Have not confirmed this either way.

  5. Fox News better be careful.
    A few more mishaps like that and they’ll lose the remainder of their aging audience to a truth induced heart attack, seizure, surge in blood pressure, brain implosions…

    Ah, that’s good, Rick: “…a truth induced heart attack…”

  7. Not that I wish death or disability on anyone, but if a certain temporary resident of the White House were to drop over, “a truth-induced heart attack” would be a nice way for him to go.

    WaPo has a story that the graphic was totally out of context and completely misleading.
    Rhea and maryelle:
    Truth induced heart attack, getting hit by a bus while jogging because the secret service had a “”lack of communication”, electrocution from a hair dryer falling into his golden bathtub.
    As long as nobody else was hurt, just about any Wile E. Coyote inspired scenario would be delightful. Extra credit if any component has Acme in the name of the manufacturer.

    About that truth induced heart attack: When the faithful don’t get the sweetness and light that they feel their due, they will get pushy.

    And 45 knows how they act when riled…

    Imagine a tiki torch parade around the White House.

    Some of them are good people…

  11. I love it! Someone in that organization lives by the lilting song of “vive la revolution!”

    The graphic is typical of Faux Noise, it makes no sense. The network trust column totals 123%. I have no idea what any of it means.
