To the producers at FOX News: 

Building a rundown for broadcast requires a keen sense for smooth transitions. After a story on debt ceiling negotiations, if you have a story on Wall Street’s reaction, you’d want that story to follow. 

After a story on debt ceiling negotiations, if you have a story on the World’s Ugliest Dog contest… wait until the D block for that one. 

Now let’s say you have this: a story on the Norway massacre and a story on the Park51 Muslim community center.

Let’s also say you’re building your newscast before any evidence arises as to know is responsible for the attacks in Oslo and Utøya. 

If you’re a responsible journalist, you either kill the Park51 story or you move it further down in the newscast. Why? Because if you lead into a piece about the controversial “Ground Zero mosque” with a story on a terrorist attack, your viewers will likely associate the two, although no one has confirmed the identity of the attacker or the motive.

If you’re FOX News, you go ahead and let that association happen anyway - because catering to Islamophobia is your niche.

It’s times like these that Fox News realizes that it has to actually report on something to keep up with appearances. Something that they have to fit in between roundtable discussions about how wrong Obama is and other thinly-veiled racist propaganda.

“This horrific story perpetrated by an anti-muslim extremist, in a related story let’s incite some anti-muslim extremism.”

Seriously, right the fuck after one another.

Dwight’s truth bombs are also based deeply in reality. (Fun fact: I went to the same high school as Rainn Wilson! Go Trevians!)
