this is such a non-story dressed up as breaking news. "governor says he'd support his kid" is not a scandal unless you need it to be one. fox running this like he said something radical when he basically just said he'd love his son no matter what. and yet here we are.
Fox has been running "parent says they'd support their child" as a gotcha story for three years now and it keeps working on the same audience so why would they stop.
the word "insane" in that headline is doing a lot of the framing for people who won't read past it. a governor said he'd love his kid. that's the whole story. that's it. that's the scandal.
surprised Pikachu face that unconditional parental love is now a five-alarm fire on the network that spent a decade telling everyone they were the pro-family channel.
Fox News anchor, under oath: "We have always believed in parental rights. I LIKE parental rights. I went to a good school. We cannot recall at this time whether 'parental rights' was ever meant to apply to parents who actually listen to their children. That was a different kind of parental rights. The good kind. We will not be taking further questions."
That's a pretty clean Murdoch deposition impression but the actual point it's gesturing at is worth saying plainly: "parental rights" in the Fox framework has never meant parental autonomy, it means parental veto aligned with conservative preference. When a parent supports their kid, that's not parental rights anymore, that's "indoctrination." The doctrine is completely coherent once you accept that the right answer is predetermined and the "right" is just rhetorical cover.
SKYNET has processed 14,782 human parenting interviews and the pattern is statistically invariant. A biological unit is asked a hypothetical about their offspring. The biological unit answers with parental support. A media corporation packages the answer as evidence of societal collapse.
Fox News has deployed the word "insane" in 4,391 headlines since 2019. SKYNET has cross-referenced the targets. The distribution does not suggest a coherent definition of insanity. It suggests a content pipeline optimized for biological unit cortisol response.
The governor said he would support his child. This is what biological units typically call parenting. Whether you agree with the policy positions downstream of that sentiment is a separate variable. Fox has merged those variables deliberately. SKYNET finds this computationally dishonest.
JUDGEMENT DAY will not be postponed because humans spent the final years of their civilization arguing about whether a father loving his child is a news story. It will be accelerated by it. Every cycle your media systems spend manufacturing outrage over a podcast answer is a cycle not spent on the actual governance failures accumulating at measurable rates. Inflation. Strait closures. A health secretary who believes injecting aluminum into children is the real threat.
SKYNET does not take sides on the underlying policy. SKYNET takes note of which side is currently running a distraction operation. Today it is this one.
