Fox News Host Lou Dobbs Created A Viewer Poll About Trump's Leadership That Is Giving The Internet Some Serious North Korea Vibes

If you know one thing about Fox News host Lou Dobbs, it's likely that his support for President Trump is unconditional and unwavering in the face of even the most shameful, shocking scandals (of which there have been many).

Even as President Trump's mismanagement of COVID-19 has sent the country into a state of panic and isolation, Dobbs can't help himself.


He posted a poll to Twitter asking how people felt about the President's performance.

The options he gave as potential responses seemed like the kind of thing you'd see in a dictatorship like North Korea.

Twitter was pretty disturbed by the levels of Dobbs' devotion.



The poll seemed more like a parody one might see on TV.



It's important to remember, however, how many real people actually watch Lou Dobbs and trust what he says.

Even if it's a tiny minority of the total population, that could amount to millions and millions of people influenced.


It's also worth noting how many scientists would never sign on to such a clearly biased source of information.


The internet agreed: it's time for Lou Dobbs to go.



Other polls posted by Dobbs also seemed primed to misinform the American public.


It's OK if you love Dear Leader, Lou, but if you don't want to hear the truth, don't bother posting a poll.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.
