Title: If Fox News existed throughout history/in the Star Wars universe/etc.
Post by: rtvc2012 on January 24, 2012, 12:47:18 pm
What are some headlines we'd have seen?

In the Star Wars universe:
"Terrorists destroy Death Freedom Star"

In 33 A.D.:
"Liberal Jewish socialist executed"

In 1939:
"Germany brings democracy to Poland"

What are some others?  They can be in any work of fiction or any time period.  Let's get creative.

Fox News is the real world equivalent of The Imperial HoloNet News from Star Wars, that being said , one would probably see commericials stating "Emperor Palpatine: The Galaxy's Savoir" in every break. And in depth interviews with Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin...

"Liberal Hippie Crucified"

Allegations allege that this was our savior, the Christ, But we at Fox news do not agree. Christ is not a hippie, and brandishes multiple firearms

It's true, Palpatine is just a frail, sweet old man who likes to knit socks in his spare time. Those rumors about him being a Dark Lord of the Sith are nothing more than lies, ROTTEN LIES!!!

I guess not, eh?  I suppose this could have images and exclusively apply to fictional realities.  I'm still not quite convinced that it needs it's own thread.

"...and in breaking news, local Tattooine gazillionaire entrepreneur and lifeform collector, Jabba the Hutt, has been brutally strangled by an ungrateful slavegirl.

"Jabba, 359, had been hosting a 'feed the Sarlacc' party on his pleasure barge when fighting broke out between some of the food..."

Anchor: Breaking news: Human and Elven terrorists launch a brutal attack upon Mordor. Moments ago, Lord Sauron issued this statement to the Orc and Uruk-Hai citizens of Mordor,

Lord Sauron: These evil acts, perpetrated by evil creatures, will not go unpunished. Our retaliation will be swift, and fierce. We will do everything in our power to defend the freedom Mordor so enjoys. The freedom that these creatures wish to extinguish from Middle Earth.

Anchor: Fox News analyst Orc McOrcsmash joins us in studio now to break down situation. Mr. McOrcsmash, what is this all about?

Orc McOrcsmash: Me firmly believe dat humon and elf hate da Mordor way of life. All Sauron want iz to unite all peoplez to share in da prosperity of Mordor, but humon and elf no want dat. Humon and elf want to keep freedom away from deir peoplez becuz dey are evil.

Anchor: Thank you, Mr. McOrcsmash. Unbelievable. We go now, via sattelite, to human sympathizer, Urg Bonesnack. Urg, why do you hate Mordor?

Urg Bonesnack: What? Me no hate Mordor. Me just think humon are retaliating against da violence Sauron has brought against dem for age... (mic cuts)

Anchor: Hm, it seems we've lost communication with Mr. Bonesnack. Stay tuned to Fox News as we bring you continuous coverage of this dark day in Mordor.
