Apparently, Stephen Colbert got wind of an actual ad for a “head writer” position on Fox & Friends. So Colbert rewrote the ad to make it a bit more truthful, given Donald Trump’s high regard for the show.
COLBERT: This is the show that the president watches every morning to know what he thinks. A much more honest ad would say, “Job opening: Most influential writer in the world. Must be okay with having your most casual thought instantly turned in to [sic] global policy. Light Doocy wrangling.”
The ad actually says you have to have 4+ years of national or local major market experience. Must be willing to work overnights and weekends. So more than the president. Plus you need to have a passion for accuracy. ... Accuracy should be more of a passion-project because your job will be lying.
Watch it below for some laughs at the expense of Fox & Friends (and Donald Trump) from the February 9, 2018 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The multiple lawsuits against these frauds for sexual harrassment and discrimination says a lot about this company.
All budding and professional journalists, videographers, producers, writers, bookers, engineers, audio, graphics artists, etc. should avoid this “company” like a bad flu virus. Take a job with another network, or a local one.
