satire is “I’m going to take this concept to an extreme or absurd level in order to demonstrate how bizarre/nonsensical/illogical it is” and not “I said something bigoted but just kidding I didn’t really mean it hahaha”

Dang it I’ve written like 5000 words trying to explain this and I only needed this post to reblog

#i always remember that thing terry pratchett said #about how satire is meant to ridicule power #if you’re laughing at people who are hurting it’s not satire it’s bullying (tags via @vrabia)

I want to show this to everyone who thinks Family Guy is satire

he told the girl who started the hashtag to stop taking credit for what he started and when she told him that she turned it into a positive thing he told her to ‘shut up fat bitch’ and compared her to snorlax and she shrugged that shit right off, she’s so young and so strong that shit is so great to see

Fox News anchor Bret Baier apologized Friday for reporting that federal investigators had determined that Hillary Clinton’s private email server had been hacked and that an investigation would lead to an indictment of Clinton after the election.


In fact, Baier said, after checking with his sources, there is no evidence at this time for either statement.


Baier, the anchor of Fox’s evening newscast “Special Report,” went on the air Wednesday to report that the FBI had determined that Clinton’s private server, which she used while serving as secretary of state, had been hacked by “five foreign intelligence agencies.”


He further said on Thursday, during an interview with Fox’s Brit Hume, that a separate FBI investigation — of the charitable Clinton Foundation — would “likely” lead to an indictment of Clinton after Tuesday’s election. 


But neither of his reports about Clinton were accurate, Baier acknowledged Friday morning in a “Fox News alert” conversation with Fox News anchor Jon Scott. 


Baier said he relied on a single anonymous source within the FBI for his report about an alleged hack of the server: “I was quoting from one source about his certainty that the server had been hacked by five foreign intelligence agencies. . . . As of today there still are no digital fingerprints of a breach, no matter what the working assumption is within the bureau.”

Someone in the FBI likely lied to Baier with this potentially explosive “information,” almost certainly in the hope that Baier would then report it on air, and it would damage Clinton’s campaign. Which Baier did. This is what’s happening.

Fox News is a reliable propaganda outlet for the Republican Party, and the FBI agents who gave this information to Bret Baier know that. They clearly violated the Hatch Act, and Baier was complicit. 

This is not okay. This is journalistic malpractice, and Bret Baier should resign, and his career should be over.
