I’m very much in favor of America having a right-leaning news network, but I wish that Fox News could execute it without tripping over its dick. The latest example is this poll featured on “Fox and Friends” last Friday in which the numbers add up to 120%. And even though there were three people discussing the numbers in-depth, nobody managed to come clean about the bad math.

The snafu served as a launchpad for Jon Stewart’s cathartic take-down of Gretchen Carlson on last night’s “Daily Show.” The wide-eyed “Golly, I had to Google this big word” persona she has on “Fox and Friends” is just an act, as the former Miss America is actually a classically trained violinist who graduated with honors from Stanford and studied abroad at Oxford. I guess that shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it still hurts. There aren’t enough smart people out there as it is; we can’t really afford defections.

The charming empty vessels at “Fox and Friends” recently discussed a study that claimed married couples are less likely to develop dementia than aging single people.  However, the study was conducted in Finland and Sweden, and as Brian Kilmeade will tell you, the pure genes of the Nordic races means the findings don’t apply to America’s mongrel society.

His meandering screed is so incoherent and unfounded and stupefying and galactically idiotic that I forced myself to transcribe it.  Here’s the gist of it, minus an incredulous interjection from Gretchen Carlson:

We, uh… We’re uh… We keep marrying other species and ethnics and uhhh… The Swedes have pure genes, because they marry other Swedes.  That’s their role.  Finland, Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society.  In America, we marry everybody.  So we marry Italians, Irish, so that [study] does not apply to us.

Thanks, white man from the 19th century! Although to be fair, in response, Hitler was like, “Yeah, totally.”
