'Time' Magazine's Biden 'Day One' Cover Breaks Fox News Anchor's Brain



Late Friday morning, at the end of an unusually busy news week, Fox News anchor Harris Faulker evidently ran out of things to be outraged about and turned her attention to Time magazine’s first cover of the Joe Biden era.

In Faulkner’s words, the cover, which was illustrated by longtime Time artist Tim O’Brien and is accompanied by the headline “Day One,” shows Joe Biden in the Oval Office “trashed by his predecessor as he looks out at the nation on fire.” She went on to posit that if the cover depicted a Republican president in a similar way, “mainstream media would be on fire about it, but with Joe Biden it’s OK to do this?”

Faulkner grew increasingly agitated as she stared at the illustrated cover and shouted, “That’s not real! That picture isn’t real! I thought we were a nation who cared about the facts.”

Over the course of Trump’s presidency, O’Brien’s artwork depicted Trump looking into mirror and seeing a king, as well as one in which a wave appeared to be washing him away as he sat at the Resolute Desk. In neither of those cases was anyone confused.

So now they are saying we are a country that loves facts? Does she know what those are?

We do care about facts, such as it's an artist's drawing, not a photographed picture.
An artist simply using his freedom of expression, same reason you use for not wearing a mask.

an unplugged smoking shredder shoved into a corner.

But then again, there are no corners in the Oval Office, so I'm good.

Even if you did just skim "Idiot's Guide to Facts"!

That is far too radical a shift in perspective to pull off quickly at faux news.

Everything about Trump is tacky and fake. Those gold curtains are awful.
