Fox News hosts are the frequent target of ridicule for their amazingly simple explanations meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But last night’s Fox & Friends election coverage took the standard to a new low with a hot take so dumb, the internet can’t get enough.
Why did celebrity shill Mehmet Oz lose his Senate race against Democrat John Fetterman in Pennsylvania? Simple.
Because Fetterman won.
It turns out, bigger numbers are bigger than smaller numbers. Funny how that works.

I like that Fox News is taking the time to explain to their audience that bigger numbers > smaller numbers.

This seems, at first, like something to laugh at, but it’s the first times a while I’ve seen anyone on Fox just stating the voting data as the facts they are. Such a welcome surprise.

that was so profound that they should switch to hockey broadcasting "the team that scores the most goals might end up winning"
