    1. >Fox News was roundly mocked on Sunday after one segment claimed that pictures of the sparsely attended Great American State Fair, organized by an entity linked to President Donald Trump called Freedom 250, did not tell the full story of the event.

      >Kevin Corke, Fox News’s senior national correspondent, claimed on “The Big Weekend Show” that the energy at the state fair was much greater than what pictures of the event showed. Several photos emerged online on Sunday showing that few people were at the event, held at the National Mall, due to rainstorms in the area.

      >”Sometimes the pictures don’t tell the full story because if you look behind us, a couple of hundred people back there, but when you make your way over here, and you’re in this wash of people,” Corke said.

      I know a certain overweight, geriatric pedocreep that could volunteer to be the dunk tank clown. As soon as they start making XXXL adult swimmy diapers. That might boost the attendance

      Seeing as Fox is self reported as “Entertainment, not news” it’s a wonder anyone would believe them. Know far to many still think they actual might stumble onto the truth by accident, but this has to be a dwindling cohort?

      I saw one report from an influencer in attendance (on Facebook, I think), who said the staff in the state booths were being told to leave their booths and walk around so that it looked like more people were there.
