What timeline is this again? Psychics are on news channels now? Not mention one with an extremely large user base that would have this go against their theology? I can’t even.
As proven long ago, Fox News is not news, it’s all editorials. Every last person on the air is a pundit, there are no reporters. They don’t report the news, they report their opinions on the news. That’s why they have a “psychic” on one of their shows, to provide an opinion on what’s going to happen. It’s all just for show…
Those of us who remember Reaganomics also remember he used a psychic his entire EIGHT year presidency. SMH.
Ugh that’s a gross reminder but a good point as well.
Are you thinking of his astrologer Joan Quigley? Not really any better, but not a psychic.
You say Grenada, I say Grenada. Let’s call the whole thing off.
Lmao holy fuck how did I not know this? That’s wild.
Mysticism such as using psychics is also something oddly embedded with Nazis. Like, even back during their rise they were oddly into mysticism
I mean new age shit is just trendy, you don’t have to go to one side of the isle to find con artists.
I know, I know. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating.
Their reply completely ignores your point about psychics contradicting Christian beliefs, and it’s absolutely shocking that Faux News watchers even tolerate it, let alone enjoy it.
Psychics contradict some Christians beliefs, not all. Many believe in psychics. It’s the more strict sects like Pentecostals or Southern Baptists that believe all psychics are evil. Oddly enough I agree with them, but for different reasons.

You can claim “No True Christian”, but clearly not all Christians believe cartomancy is forbidden. Christianity, as always, is whatever the individual believes it to be.
Hard disagree. The Bible has verses that condemn psychics and mediums, not that that has ever stopped them from rationalizing other acts, but the Bible is anti-psychic.
When I was a Methodist, my churches were all adamant that psychics and mediums were either con artists or were coordinating with evil spirits or the devil, and it was forbidden. Same with Catholics. Generally in my experience with all American Southern Christians and some northern ones too, the more devout they are, the more against the occult they are.
Your interpretation of the bible is anti-psychic. Other Christians disagree. Some have even written books about it, as noted in my other comment. But the point isn’t what the bible says…the point is that psychics aren’t real, regardless of what Christians believe.
I’m realizing now that I misread your reply as “some Christian beliefs” rather than “some ChristianS beliefs,” but I was never implying all Christians believe the same thing.
I’m just shocked that there aren’t a significant number of Christians watching Fox News that would be pissed that they are putting a psychic on and promoting the occult.

is fox news considered a news channel now?
News used to be 60 minutes just after prime time. Now they have whole channels with news 24/7/365. Have to fill all that air time with something
24 hour news is a blight. TBH 24 hours everything except for emergencies and medical services is a blight.
There’s plenty of interesting stuff going on in the world. Reporting on it doesn’t maximize profit.
CNN used to have shows about fashion, sports, entertainment, the arts, world affairs. They figured out that just having talking heads blab and argue with each other was cheaper.
CNN headline news used to be just a 30 minute broadcast about the day’s major headlines repeated on a loop every half hour. They didn’t really fill the entire 24 hours with different stories all day long.
Similarly ESPN used to show sports of all kinds. Rugby, Soccer, bowling, snooker/billiards. Again, it’s just taking heads now.

Yeah, although usually only kind of late. I do miss the World’s Strongest Man competitions though.
My dad was not right-wing, but he went from us watching The McNeil-Lehrer Newshour once a day in the 80s to being glued to CNN and MSNBC all day. Almost literally all day once he retired. They found an American addiction and learned to feed it. For my dad, and I think a lot of people, it was a combination of the first Iraq war and the OJ live chase. Suddenly you could watch something really amazing that was news in real time whenever you turned on your TV.
Well I want to see a faith healer on Meet the Press. Maybe a magician on Newsmax too then.
“now” has been longer than I have been alive.
You should watch the movie “Network” from the 1970s sometime. It predicted the trash that is news programming these days.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_network
It wasn’t meant to be a prediction though. It was meant to be incredibly broad satire. I mean the last line of the movie is- “This was the story of Howard Beale: The first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.”
And honestly, if Fox could have just taken Tucker out with a .22 to the back of the head, they would have totally done that.
We’re living in a comedy.
Yeah it’s the same as 1984 and so many others, it’s about the human condition and natural propensites.
The truth is things haven’t really got much worse, I happen to enjoy Victorian newspapers and it’s all the same nonsence and lies. People will always find a new way to lie and a new excuse to pretend to believe.
I absolutely love Network and agree. Essential watching and predictions way before it’s time.
I turned on the news the other day and was lucky enough to catch the 10 minute segment on the new fucking kia the local dealership just got in stock.
Psychics are on news channels now?
Its on Fox “News”, not a real news channel. You shouldn’t be surprised that woowoo bunk is being put on the channel that’s been spreading objectively falsifiable bunk for as long as they’ve been on air.
It’s almost like reich-wingers are idiots and will fall for the dumbest fucking thing
“News” is the wrong word. “Dogma” is a better choice.
It’s not a news channel, legally speaking
“But it’s very specific. Let me move on. It’s a sense of loss,” she added. “It’s as if he may be thinking more about what he’s lost and not still taking full advantage of what he still has.”
This is because Trump is A LOSER.
Watters called Robert’s words “ a great interpretation.”
This is actually really smart on her part. She’s banking on the most gullible portion of society to believe everything she says, on Fox News, no less, so they think she’s automatically legit. And even if they boo or even hate her at this point, if things go south for Trump, you can bet they’ll be looking her up to see what else she has to say because she “simply said what she saw”. And thats when she’ll start raking in the big bucks with personal consultations.
Damn. She scammed the scammers to scam the dummies.
No, she allied with the scammer.
It’s weird to me that they wouldn’t just arrange the cards to create the narrative they want to sell. Psychics know it’s a con, otherwise they wouldn’t try so hard to spin the results.
I don’t know. Some believe the con so much that they end believing it more than their customers (source: my mother who does it for free for her friends)
I mean, sure some people believe it, but to be successful at it, you have to engage in the grift. Because it doesn’t actually work. You have to massage the story to get people hooked and make them think you’re telling them something valuable. Reading tarot cards for fun isn’t the same as building a business around your psychic abilities.
It’s the difference between playing with a Ouija board and telling the police that a victim has contacted you from beyond the grave for the reward money. Belief in the former can be sincere, but you don’t do the second part unless you know it’s a con.
Iirc on fox news they control the narrative and the presentation, but they never control the guests. Usually the guests just go along with it (because why else would you go on fox news). But they already had some earlier instances where they tried to cut off interviewees because they had polar opposite opinions.
I mean…
If you’re suggesting the psychic herself should have done that…she doesn’t owe them anything, and this gets WAY more people talking about her.
It’s insane that people not only watch this channel, but actually believe they’re more informed for doing so.
“It’s true! I’m not making it up!” said the fucking psychic.

DAMMIT
^take ^my ^upvote
They deserve this 100% for having a fucking psychic on what they call a news channel. Meanwhile, that psychic is awesome for trolling everyone.
To give them credit, it’s tarot cards and not new age stuff.
Thank goodness it’s this one unfalsifiable meaningless bullshit and not that other unfalsifiable meaningless bullshit
A sense of loss!? That is pure CYA bullshit. Even if he wins, she can still say she was right.
- Psychic
- CYA Bullshit
He’ll lose the popular vote again, even if he wins the EC.
The dems should have gotten rid of the EC when Gore “lost”. Instead, they got a repeat scenario with Hillary. Will Biden make it a threepeat?
What would it take to get rid of it? IIRC we’d need a Constitutional amendment, right? I mean there’s also the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It wouldn’t technically get rid of the EC, but same difference afaik. (I just worry about that one bc even if enough states agree, it seems like it could be relatively easily killed by a court decision or new legislation.)
Dunno. But they didn’t even try. Even when they held the majority in both houses of Congress and the presidency.
I want to believe!
Let’s make it happen
Nah. Psychic is just woke
The 5 of cups is literally the sorrow card lmao

Following up her prediction of “loss” for Trump and “lots of money” for Biden, Roberts said Americans should expect “great happiness” this year.
“I mean, that’s just full of joy, happiness, contentment. It’s actually a funny way of putting it, it is as big as the money card is. It’s a big, big, big, big, happy.”
👀
My 5 cups runneth over with doubt.

I’m sure the tsunami of copium that followed was only matched by the waves of ketchup and smashed dinner plates running down the walls at Mar-A-Lago.
naw. most of the people this would have been anything other than ‘hah that’s funny’ to, are dismissing it as superstition, by condeming it with their own superstitions.
So we´re safe, right?
This is fucking great.
