WASHINGTON, D.C. — In order to defeat fascism, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for the military to shut down news agencies that say anything unapproved by the government.

"It's like, defeating fascism 101," said Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. "The government takes control of the nation's media, then silences all the bad people. Fascism solved!"

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has demanded the government start with banning Tucker Carlson, followed by several other conservative journalists. "We are in literal danger of falling into fascism until the government locks away all the bad journalists," explained Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. "Look at China - they are like, so safe from fascism. Do you see anything like January 6th happening in China? I don't think so. Anyone in China who says anything the government thinks could incite violence, is like, disappeared or something. It's all worth it if we stop just one Januray 6th."

According to Democratic leadership, the government's efforts to beat back fascism will require immediately making a handy "blacklist" to be overseen by the "House Un-American Activities Committee". "The committee will monitor the news for un-American activities such as saying the government narrative may be wrong," said Representative Hakeem Jeffries. "As the government steadily crushes dissenting speech by labeling it as an 'incitement to violence', fascism will be destroyed once and for all."

At publishing time, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez had asked Jen Psaki if the contact lenses she was wearing made her look smart.

ATLANTA, GA — In a stunning move, media giant CNN has fired anchor Don Lemon. Executives at the network made the decision immediately after coming to the stark realization that Lemon was past his prime.

"He's just not what he used to be," said CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht. "When he started out here, he was all flash and charisma and good looks — everything, all rolled into one. But once talent reaches a certain age, you have to start thinking about the future. At this point, he's just a used-up, frumpy old buzzard who really shouldn't be on television."

Lemon's fall from grace had progressed quickly. After working his way up to host a prime-time nightly program that was not watched by many, he was later reassigned to co-host a morning show that was watched by no one before being fired altogether. CNN's viewer was shocked to hear the news. "I know I'm the only person still watching CNN, but this is still a surprise," said Wolf Blitzer's wife, Lynn Greenfield. "I always thought Don was a lovely young man. One of CNN's best gays, by far, there are a lot of candidates to choose from!"

Lemon was embroiled in controversy earlier this year after expressing an opinion that women in their 50s were no longer in their "prime." Analysts now believe this was an early indication of Lemon's diminishing skills. "He clearly lost it," said one CNN producer. "He's not that pretty face we met years ago."

At publishing time, Lemon was reportedly calling friends in an effort to contact Tucker Carlson in the hope he might want to share an apartment and split the rent.

NEW YORK, NY — As part of a plan to broaden its audience, the long-running daytime talk show The View has announced former Fox News host Tucker Carlson will be joining the program's panel. Producers hope Carlson's presence will both draw new viewers and educate current cast members.

"Tucker's going to be a great addition," said Executive Producer Brian Teta. "Not only will we reap the benefits of bringing in a more politically conservative audience but our other co-hosts will benefit from hearing new political perspectives! Win-win!"

Early test footage shows Carlson surrounded by laughing women looking perplexed, apparently shocked by a dumb thing Joy Behar said.

Though Carlson had quickly become a hot commodity on the media landscape after his shocking departure from Fox News was announced, his new co-panelists expressed mixed feelings about him joining the group. "We don't tolerate any differing opinions on this show," said longest-tenured panelist Joy Behar. "There's a reason the program is called ‘The View,' and not 'The Views!' There is only one acceptable view around here! Tucker is a Nazi!" She then screeched loudly and attempted to claw the conservative anchor's eyes out.

The program has featured some conservative voices in the past, but analysts believe this time will be far different. "It's going to be a bloodbath, for sure," said one expert. "Just wait until Whoopi Goldberg says something really stupid and Tucker has to respond. Must-see TV, right there."

At publishing time, Behar, Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro were considering walking out and reportedly already accusing producers of perpetrating "literal violence" simply by hiring Carlson. Carlson has countered by offering to provide the panel with all the free Bud Light they can drink.

I think Carlson would be a natural fit for the Alex Jones. They would be on the same wavelength.

I have no problem with religion. It can help people feel better about themselves and achieve some peace of mind. That is a good thing. But, here is my favorite quote about religion. (I've posted this before)

"Religion is like a *****: it's fine to have one, it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out and start waving it around in public, and please don't try to shove it down my children's throats"
