Masked? Man: Am I a man in a mask spouting opinions on Fox News, or is it just a trick of the lights? Masked? Man: Maybe I'm wearing a silicone neck appliance out of vanity. If only Fox hadn't spent so many years blatantly lying and hiring actors to portray "former Antifa members" and "ex gang members". Masked? Man: It's also possible I'm a lizard person, but that's a right-wing conspiracy thing, so maybe let's not.

NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Fox News has so thoroughly poisoned the well of media that we're all forced to be crazy. What else can we do when Fox has been caught using the same guy pretending to be various different people and the GOP keeps trotting out the same person for unrelated events? So when former Deputy Commander of the United States Central Command Robert Harward appears on Fox looking like he's wearing a mask as if he's Peter Graves in Mission: Impossible, of course we're all going to freak out. Personally I spent way too much time looking at the video and trying to pretend it was some kind of perspective illusion, like the bread tag sitting on the counter which looks like a hole, but I simply couldn't get that skin flap to be anything other than a fucking skin flap.

The point is not, of course, to find out the truth of where that shadow on his neck came from. The point is that Fox News has succeeded in destroying media credibility to the extent that no one can take anything at face value any more. Which was the point. Now we're where they want us. I'm a big fan of the First Amendment but some things need to be regulated. This is worse than yelling FIRE in a crowded theater because now it's all 350 million of us (and more worldwide) trampling everyone.
