Chuck-ese

So, I was at my grandmother’s house today, and she was watching Fox “News.” The headline they showed on the bottom-middle of the screen read:

THE COST OF FREEDOM
LA Plans to Ban New Fast Food Chains: Threat to Free Society?

I was speechless. This is a threat to a free society? Not illegal surveilance of Americans? Not politicization of the Justice Department? Not telecom companies clamoring to censor the internet?

Fox seems to be using the tactic of whipping people into a frenzy about something small to distract them from what’s actually the problem. A standard Republican tactic.
