In 1984, George Orwell wrote his imagined dystopian regime "told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears," but Fox News has actually figured out a tactic even more pernicious: Fox News' own masters of Orwellian doublespeak, its Hannitys, Carlsons, and Doocys, the ones who smugly declare down up and up down, aren't even bothering to tell their viewers to ignore their eyes and ears, because the truth never even approaches their airtime.

The plot of the film concerned Santa mistreating his reindeer because he's unable to think for himself and has outsourced his morality to "the good book" (*sigh*) and also featured a subplot with Megyn Kelly and a character called White Jesus (*sighing so hard I deprive myself of oxygen and hallucinate myself heading towards the light, having what I believe is a religious experience that will be smugly picked apart by a guy in a flat cap on a Roku atheist TV channel*).
