Greg Gutfeld’s Propaganda ‘Comedy’ To Displace Fox News @ Night

Posted by Brian -4pc on February 15, 2021 · Flag

Fox News just shoved one of its weekday “objective news” shows into the midnight hour in favor of the comedic stylings of pro-Trump propagandist Greg Gutfeld.

Shannon Bream’s 11 PM Fox News @ Night, currently airing at 11 PM ET, will be relegated to the midnight hour, with Gutfeld taking over that slot in the second quarter, i.e. after March 31.

According to Mediaite, a Fox “insider” called the move “yet another descent into outright propaganda coverage fueled by the constant right-wing grievance machine that undergirds Fox.”

But Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said, “People need a reason to laugh” and she called his Saturday show “unique and irreverent.”

Here’s some of Gutfeld’s brand of uniqueness and irreverence:

  • He called Joe Scarborough “Mr. Bozoface.”
  • He called Bob Woodward’s recording of Donald Trump admitting he lied about the seriousness of the coronavirus epidemic, “a booger dressed as a bombshell.”
  • He claimed Trump got coronavirus because “he took the risk” and “he was doing it for us.”
  • He likened Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial to a deadly gas leak.
  • Chickenhawk Gutfeld tweeted to veteran John Kerry, “Plug your knothole, Captain Driftwood,” because Kerry had the audacity to criticize Trump for not taking part in a ceremony at Aisne-Marne American cemetery in France, honoring the more than a thousand Americans killed during a ferocious battle of World War I.

We’ll see if this helps Fox’s ratings woes.

You can watch Gutfeld’s Mr. Bozoface “humor” below, from the December 4, 2018 The Five.

Comedy is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Gutfield’s post-punch-line smirk tells me he isn’t sure people will understand when they’re supposed to laugh. A comedian who has to send that signal isn’t funny.

Gutfeld’s humor is right wing and childish – always at the expense of someone else, quick to exploit physical or mental disabilities. He never left the 6th grade playground.

Anonymous, spot on.

doors17, I agree. But I have a conservative friend who thinks he’s funny. I don’t get it. Apparently, Rupert Murdoch thinks he’s funny, too, because he thinks Gutfeld can compete with the late night comics.

Greg Gutfeld is the right’s idea of comedy? Okay, I accept that the right is kicking our butts on talk radio but on comedians, the left wins in a landslide.
