Fox News’ Seattle vox pop didn’t go at all how they’d hoped – and it’s a thing of beauty
What do you know about Seattle?
It has the Space Needle, Frasier was shot there, it’s the birthplace of Grunge – but according to Fox News, it’s a crime-infested den of iniquity – Sodom-on-the-Green-Duwamish.
Their evening show, The Five, aired a clip of reporter Johnny Belisario trying to get the people of Seattle to tell him how bad it is to live there.
Watch how that worked out for them.
Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn't go well. pic.twitter.com/49PVjwgFBB

“Oh no, you were in a car. Oh no they were hurting you so bad. Oh noooo.”

I tend to think it’s a waste of time for liberals to go on Fox News, but I am 100% in favor of them mocking their reporters in the wild. https://t.co/Q6frCdlnQ8

And because Fox didn't get what they liked in these interviews, they ended up going with this on-air graphic: https://t.co/JTyFfA91Bk pic.twitter.com/GIpvpApnV8

This has single-handedly convinced me to move to Seattle to befriend Seattle residents. Thank you, Fox News. https://t.co/ho3eTSqFQQ

Jesse Watters‘ Primetime shared a longer version, cut with commentary on the mental state of the interviewees. We think it was supposed to be comedy, but it comes across as a Grade A self-own.
