Late Friday morning, at the end of an unusually busy news week, Fox News anchor Harris Faulker evidently ran out of things to be outraged about and turned her attention to Time magazines first cover of the Joe Biden era.
In Faulkners words, the cover, which was illustrated by longtime Time artist Tim OBrien and is accompanied by the headline Day One, shows Joe Biden in the Oval Office trashed by his predecessor as he looks out at the nation on fire. She went on to posit that if the cover depicted a Republican president in a similar way, mainstream media would be on fire about it, but with Joe Biden its OK to do this?
Faulkner grew increasingly agitated as she stared at the illustrated cover and shouted, Thats not real! That picture isnt real! I thought we were a nation who cared about the facts.
Over the course of Trumps presidency, OBriens artwork depicted Trump looking into mirror and seeing a king, as well as one in which a wave appeared to be washing him away as he sat at the Resolute Desk. In neither of those cases was anyone confused.

(17,309 posts)We do care about facts, such as it's an artist's drawing, not a photographed picture.
An artist simply using his freedom of expression, same reason you use for not wearing a mask.

But then again, there are no corners in the Oval Office, so I'm good.

That is far too radical a shift in perspective to pull off quickly at faux news.
