Who's on First - Laura Ingraham style

 

Fox News host Laura Ingraham at centre of ‘hilarious blunder’ involving Netflix show You

Two Fox News hosts are going viral for what is believed to be a giant blunder involving the TV show You.

Laura Ingraham was presenting her conservative news and opinion-based talk show The Ingraham Angle, when contributor Raymond Arroyo mentioned the Netflix show starring Penn Badgley.

Complaining about “woke” television, he referred to an episode of the serial killer drama in a segment titled: “Numbers don't lie: viewers like woke-free TV.”

He was discussing a storyline in the latest season involving lead character Joe (Badgley) and his baby son, who contracts measles from an unvaccinated family.

In the clip, Arroyo mentions that “in You... measles came up”. Ingraham acts confused and replies: “Wait wait wait, when did I mention measles?”

Arroyo replies: “It was on You,” to which Ingraham says: “What was on me? What are you talking about? I never had the measles.”

When Arroyo tries to point out that a “vaccine episode was on You”, Ingraham, laughing in apparent confusion, says: “We never did a measles and vaccine episode. Is this a joke?”

Arroyo, seemingly growing fustrated, firmly responds: “It was on You!” to which Ingraham says: “Raymond, I’ve never had measles – what are you talking about? Are you stupid?”

Hoping to clear up the matter, Arroyo says: “It was an episode of a show.” When Ingraham asks what the show was called, he bellows: “You! It’s a show called You on Netflix.”

Ingraham then asks: “There’s a show called Laura Ingraham on Netflix?”

Arroyo eventually gives up, saying: “I can’t explain this to you.”

The video was shared widely on Twitter and TikTok after being broadcast, with many sending up Ingraham for her inability to understand what Arroyo was talking about.

Many have lampooned the hosts, with some branding the gaffe “hilarious” and others calling it “embarrassing”. On Twitter, Arroyo later claimed the segment was “scripted” – although many replied expressing their doubts over this.

Some drew comparisons to the Who’s on First?, the comedy routine made famous by Abbott and Costello, in which Abbott identifies players on a baseball team that are being interpreted as non-responsive answers to Costello’s questions.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This...

When Life Hands You Lemons

 It's like this folks: sometimes your mind goes blank. Happens more than usual with me of course. Take this forum for instance. I wanted to post something today and couldn't think of a topic. At least not a non-sexual one and we know sexual ones lately have been frowned upon.  Then along comes one of our regulars and complains about something. Well, they might not say it was a complaint, just an observation, but it was a complaint. A minor one. It has something to do about being able to make something out of nothing. Sort of like me this morning, how to make a thread out of an empty head? But they (notice I am using the correct pronoun, not saying he or she), by what they said got me thinking. What I thought was: Not sure if that is the actual saying, if I remember correctly, I remember the saying going something like this: Umm, no, I don't think the saying I am thinking of goes that way either, maybe ONE of you good folks can remind me how the saying goes. Either way, when...
