SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Tanuki: So the New York Times, NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN are all "fake news" and the enemy of the American People. Fox: Fuck yeah. Those motherfuckers aren't the fourth estate, they're the fifth column! Tanuki: But Fox and, I guess, the C.W. are real news, so when Tucker Carlson credulously runs an interview with a mendacious right-wing Swedish filmmaker... Fox: Then Trump is justified in referring to "what's happening last night in Sweden" even though whatever he's talking about is entirely fictitious. Tanuki: So real news is just whatever news Trump wants to be true. Fox: Fuck yeah. That's the motherfucking free market!

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Yeah, so, Trump bleated out some nonsense about a terrorist attack in Sweden, even though there wasn't one. So that joins with Bowling Green and Atlanta as invented terrorist attacks (although—not that too many people seem to remember these days—Atlanta was the scene of a terrorist attack, at the Summer Olympics back in 1996, only, whoops, it was a white American terrorist upset over abortion rights who killed two people and injured over a hundred others). It seems that Trump, being a master of information flows and details, completely misunderstood a propaganda piece on Fox News and presented it as fact, which somehow means everyone else is FAKE NEWS and enemies of the American capital P People exclamation point.
