Fox News Accuses Biden of Using Federal Government to Improve Country

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling President Joe Biden “an authoritarian dictator of the most reprehensible kind,” Fox News has accused him of using the power of the federal government to improve the country.

“Joe Biden came into office claiming that he wanted to be the President of all the people,” Sean Hannity said. “Now, however, his real agenda has become clear: he wants to increase Americans’ life expectancy.”

“How long one lives should be a personal choice,” Hannity continued. “But not if Joe Stalin-slash-Biden has anything to say about it.”

Tucker Carlson agreed, arguing that Biden’s push for a $3.5 trillion spending package “is no more and no less than a totalitarian dictator’s plot to raise the nation’s standard of living.”

“To those of you who think I’m being an alarmist, let’s learn a lesson from history,” he said. “This is exactly like what happened in Germany under Angela Merkel.”

it's difficult to distinguish it from actual Fox "news" and Borowitz's satire. Fox has a propensity for trying to shock their viewers into blind, blood-lust rages, so we've grown to expect it from them.

I was fooled a few times myself, but now I always check the byline before commenting. Borowitz could always find employment at Fox should he tire from writing satire for The Atlantic, that's for sure.

The crazy Republicans make it impossible to distinguish satire vs their reality.
No need to post anything satirical with the insane news coming from the Republicans….

Dictator Biden is determined to make this a better nation, just like FDR, JFK & LBJ. How dare he.

... the suffering experienced under actual dictatorships, trying to prep more Americans to accept fascism under a right-wing government.

but the truth is, it is exactly on point. Repubs greatest fear is that progressive policies will make the country a better place to live in and nobody will vote for their obstructionism and death cults going forward.
