Fox News Segment Backfires When Psychic Predicts ‘Sense of Loss’ for Trump in 2024
Psychic Paula Roberts pulled a not-so-fortunate card when predicting Donald Trump’s 2024 election chances on Fox News with Jesse Watters.
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...
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
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.

I absolutely love Network and agree. Essential watching and predictions way before it’s time.
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.
Isn't it technically 'light entertainment' or some shit so legally it's not obliged to report any facts?
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.
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.
“News” is the wrong word. “Dogma” is a better choice.
It's almost like reich-wingers are idiots and will fall for the dumbest fucking thing
It's not a news channel, legally speaking
The news here is that they are putting psychics on the fucking news, wtf
They were on Fox, they weren't on the news.
Fox don't report the news, they report things that they feel should have happened if the world was just according to their values. You'd get more accurate reporting out of a 6-year-old when they're telling you who ate all the chocolate.
Their values seem to be "willful ignorance and stupidity, zero class and zero dignity... a mindless free-for-all!".
News
Fox news
One of these is not like the other
More like Faux News
I read this headline yesterday and it made me think of a time when California Psychics had commercials all over the place. A few hours later, I saw a California Psychics commercial on prime time NBC. The world is getting dumberer by the minute.
This is on the Jesse Waters show which is on the channel called Fox News. It should be noted that a majority of Fox News shows are actually talk shows and opinion segments, not straight news.
Rupie has done an excellent job convincing people on both sides that the entirety of Fox News' airtime is to be considered news because it's the name of the channel and it has a news ticker on the bottom
"I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” he said. Then he suggested a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news’ news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.”
I couldn't find the original article in my history, but this segment had me infuriated... This chucklefuck looks to Fox news as a good model for them to replicate on CNN...
More empirical than their usual analysis.
And History Channel is running Ancient Aliens.
Network was a documentary. Remember that the "TV Generation" that they talk about in that movie are the Boomers.
“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)
Same, my mother absolutely believes it, so much so that she refuses to do it for family and friends because she doesn't want to see anything bad with anyone she knows.
Same with reiki, she tried it on me once and asked if I felt anything, which I obviously didn't so I said as much and her reply was "oh, well that's probably because you don't believe in it."
I love you mom, but that's called a placebo.
There's a very surprising percentage of people who believe more or less in astrology, numerology and other predictive bullshitology. Even in developed countries with a good level of education.
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 true! I'm not making it up!" said the fucking psychic.
And their Christofascist fans don't even realize it's a sin to consult a psychic.
It's only a sin when they disagree with the results.
Its only a sin when they think it is
It's crazy that she was on a "news segment" as a whole. Like wow, running out of material, huh?
It's insane that people not only watch this channel, but actually believe they're more informed for doing so.

They deserve this 100% for having a fucking psychic on what they call a news channel. Meanwhile, that psychic is awesome for trolling everyone.
A sense of loss!? That is pure CYA bullshit. Even if he wins, she can still say she was right.
Why does this woman look exactly like Sigourney Weaver in a comically large wig?
"OMG Ellen Ripley watch out the orange monster! It's on your HEAD!"
Maybe that gives her the powers?
It's a Half Life/Alien cross-over
She is clearly trolling Fox News by pretending to be a psychic.
I hate it when all these fakers take jobs away from the real psychics.
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.

World's first real psychic.
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.
They really should've seen this coming.
This is fucking great.
"Backfired" insofar as no one cares at all, yet people are trying to dunk on Republicans over this absolutely boring piece of nothing?
Yes. The right feels so ashamed that this two-bit psychic implied sadness by Trump on Fox News. We won!!!
I promise you, more Democrats than Republicans have seen and cared about this. We're winning! A psychic said so! They're the crazy ones, not us!!
For fucks sake, yall.
We’re winning! A psychic said so!
Not really seeing anybody saying this. The sentiment moreso seems that it's just laughing at fox news stupidity.
It's Fox News, they've definitely seen it. Also, apparently some of these nutjobs clearly believe in psychics, why else would they have one as a guest?
Are we sure it's not Rachel Dratch in a wig doing a bit for Last Week Tonight?
I mean, I don't believe in this shit but "a sense of loss" could be anything. It could mean Trump's loss in the election, or the loss of democracy in the US as we know it (i.e. trump wins). I'm a way it's a very fitting card either way.
I don't know if she proceeded to "analyze" the card any further.
It's Tarot, the trick is that you can spin it anyway you want: "Oh this card means a sense of loss, he will probably lose the election" or "Oh this card symbolizes the sense of loss a lot of his opponents will feel when he wins" or "This means that for him to emerge victorious he will have to leave many things that he holds dear behind"
She's a bad psychic but more importantly a bad con woman.
It could also be 100% fake to rile up right wingers into voting....
Could be fake? Could be?
It could mean he takes a really big shit. Personally, I love that feeling of vacancy after a very large bowel movement. It's a very comfortable sense of loss.
Thats Maggie Smith with a wig.
I hope history remembers that the same month NASA announced it was studying UFOs is the same month one of the Voyager probes started going nuts. I want to be a dramatic moment for people in the future that really summarized well our decent into next dark ages.
The Romulans are fucking with our timeline again.
No joke, the article says she pulled the death card out of the Tarot deck.
Hmm, but not the tower or chariot? Death isn't assigned the meaning you think it is. It is more about reaping what you sow, or receiving a change to your life, than dealing with death itself. Not saying I believe the meanings, but I know what they are meant to represent.
I don't believe in them either, just found the whole thing pretty humerous on its face.
It was actually the 5 of Cups, which has a hooded figure that can resemble the grim reaper.
Is the actual video on an embedded tweet in the article? Because my privacy badger is blocking twitter widgets. Does anyone have a direct link to the video?

with Jesse Watters
excellent, any time he gets deflated is a good time.
