What timeline is this again? Psychics are on news channels now? Not mention one with an extremely large user base that would have this go against their theology? I can’t even.
As proven long ago, Fox News is not news, it's all editorials. Every last person on the air is a pundit, there are no reporters. They don't report the news, they report their opinions on the news. That's why they have a "psychic" on one of their shows, to provide an opinion on what's going to happen. It's all just for show...
Those of us who remember Reaganomics also remember he used a psychic his entire EIGHT year presidency. SMH.
Ugh that’s a gross reminder but a good point as well.
Are you thinking of his astrologer Joan Quigley? Not really any better, but not a psychic.
You say Grenada, I say Grenada. Let's call the whole thing off.

Mysticism such as using psychics is also something oddly embedded with Nazis. Like, even back during their rise they were oddly into mysticism
The Nazis had teams of archaeologists running around the world looking for all sorts of religious artifacts. Hitler was a nut on the subject. He was crazy. He was obsessed with the occult.

is fox news considered a news channel now?
It shouldn't be, but I do see it on TVs in public more often than any other news I think which is concerning

You should watch the movie “Network” from the 1970s sometime. It predicted the trash that is news programming these days.

News used to be 60 minutes just after prime time. Now they have whole channels with news 24/7/365. Have to fill all that air time with something
24 hour news is a blight. TBH 24 hours everything except for emergencies and medical services is a blight.

Isn't it technically 'light entertainment' or some shit so legally it's not obliged to report any facts?
They defended a slander lawsuit that was against Tucker Carlson. They suggested that no reasonable viewer would take what he said as fact. Seems pretty damning.

Psychics are on news channels now?
Its on Fox "News", not a real news channel. You shouldn't be surprised that woowoo bunk is being put on the channel that's been spreading objectively falsifiable bunk for as long as they've been on air.

The news here is that they are putting psychics on the fucking news, wtf
They were on Fox, they weren't on the news.
Fox don't report the news, they report things that they feel should have happened if the world was just according to their values. You'd get more accurate reporting out of a 6-year-old when they're telling you who ate all the chocolate.

I read this headline yesterday and it made me think of a time when California Psychics had commercials all over the place. A few hours later, I saw a California Psychics commercial on prime time NBC. The world is getting dumberer by the minute.

This is on the Jesse Waters show which is on the channel called Fox News. It should be noted that a majority of Fox News shows are actually talk shows and opinion segments, not straight news.
Rupie has done an excellent job convincing people on both sides that the entirety of Fox News' airtime is to be considered news because it's the name of the channel and it has a news ticker on the bottom

“But it’s very specific. Let me move on. It’s a sense of loss,” she added. “It’s as if he may be thinking more about what he’s lost and not still taking full advantage of what he still has.”
This is because Trump is A LOSER.

This is actually really smart on her part. She's banking on the most gullible portion of society to believe everything she says, on Fox News, no less, so they think she's automatically legit. And even if they boo or even hate her at this point, if things go south for Trump, you can bet they'll be looking her up to see what else she has to say because she "simply said what she saw". And thats when she'll start raking in the big bucks with personal consultations.
It's weird to me that they wouldn't just arrange the cards to create the narrative they want to sell. Psychics know it's a con, otherwise they wouldn't try so hard to spin the results.
I don't know. Some believe the con so much that they end believing it more than their customers (source: my mother who does it for free for her friends)

Iirc on fox news they control the narrative and the presentation, but they never control the guests. Usually the guests just go along with it (because why else would you go on fox news). But they already had some earlier instances where they tried to cut off interviewees because they had polar opposite opinions.
I mean...
If you're suggesting the psychic herself should have done that...she doesn't owe them anything, and this gets WAY more people talking about her.
"It's true! I'm not making it up!" said the fucking psychic.
And their Christofascist fans don't even realize it's a sin to consult a psychic.
It's only a sin when they disagree with the results.
Its only a sin when they think it is

It's insane that people not only watch this channel, but actually believe they're more informed for doing so.

They deserve this 100% for having a fucking psychic on what they call a news channel. Meanwhile, that psychic is awesome for trolling everyone.

A sense of loss!? That is pure CYA bullshit. Even if he wins, she can still say she was right.
