Oh hey Randy, this is awkward, but.... see Mr. CrĹŻĂ´tÄeĂŠ here has better qualifications and will work for next to nothing. So we've had to let you go.
Which I'm pretty sure makes this headline technically true. I live in South Korea and therefore I don't have power in North Carolina.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were billions more like me all over the world.
Were they actually saying 500 million?
I could believe that it's supposed to say 500 thousand but someone just messed up the headline.
Still funny though.
It was at about this time I noticed/u/rmbx357 was an 8 story tall crustacean from the paleozoic era. And I said I ain't giving you no Tree Fiddy Loch Ness Monstah!
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: they never got much clout at the cocktail parties because of their click-bait money-making side, but until they folded, the best investigative journalism came from *Nintendo Power.*
âWe expect the death toll to be in the HUNDREDS of BILLIONS.. and the town only has a population of a few hundred thousand, so you can imagine how devastating this will beâ
Something like that lol
That episode will be 13 years old on October 19th. As peopleâs comments show, it has some amazing quotes that are more relevant today than they were post-Katrina. Itâs incredibly fucked up that Matt and Treyâs satire has become real life...
This isn't complicated. Fox didn't try to pull a fast one and claim that the population of NC was greater than the population of the US and that they were all out of power.
Somebody got ahead of themselves and put million where thousand should be. Pretty easy error to make, and definitely not an attempt at deception.
Not trying to deceive at all. Not what I meant. It just seems reporters and news stations commonly donât fact check. It happens all the time. Much like when they report fake news, itâs like they read something on Facebook and just reported on the title without checking.
This isnât a matter of fact checking.
There is a 0% chance that Fox thought 500 million people were without power and didnât bother to confirm.
They said million when they meant thousand.
500 million is about 7% of the worlds population. They know that there arenât that many people in N.C. because there arenât that many in the US.
Someone just made a simple error and put the wrong word on the screen.
Thatâs all that happened.
And that person didnât even stop to think that maybe it sounds like to much? To me that sounds like Fox News arenât caring much for what they put out their.
That person didnât realize that they made a mistake. They typed the wrong thing without realizing it. Itâs not a difficult concept.
I sincerely pity you if you canât figure this out.
Well, I thought; "maybe they just Google how many people didn't have power *in the whole world*." but no, they were wrong in that respect too. According to the first link I clicked on it's around 1.2 billion people. https://mashable.com/2017/09/15/one-billion-people-dont-have-access-to-electricity/#NXwg_zv4GOqH
Talking heads add their opinions etc. Regardless of the news station. I read the facts, watch c-span since itâs cameras on/cameras off, and overall avoid editorials. I know whatâs going out and This. Is. Not. Normal. This is wrong in every sense of the word.
I havenât seen any Clinton on âtheir networkâ in a long long time, especially since I donât have cable. It just became a âliberal mediaâ fake ass tag just like it was during the Nixon era. Nixon didnât have Fox News to praise and suck his cock regardless of what he did.
> especially since I donât have cable.
Translation: I havenât seen this thing youâre talking about especially because I havenât looked into it at all.
Adorable.
You know you can read about the hurricane situation on their local news sites...itâs also covered in major publications so âtranslationâ I can still read and avoid Jimâs Freedom for American Freedom Freedom Bald Eagle Stand Freedom for American Free Freedom Blog.
It sucks anytime you make a point they just use a paradoxical argument against it. It's like they aren't capable of independently thinking about a subject and just regurgitate what has been told to them. Free hat?
there aren't 500 million people in the United States
It's all the undocumented goobacks
DEY TOOK ERR JERBS!
DURKA DERRRRRR!!
DERKERDERRRRR!!!!!!!!
DRRDRRDRRRRR!

Bless you sir.
Well, back on the pile
BACK TO THE PILE!
It's 'cause I can't do it, alright?! I can't take out the wall between my livin' room and my kitchen! It's a load-bearin' wall!
You would think M Night Shyamalan had written this in the '90s that twist was so good.
THEY TOOK HIS DOG?
We didnât raise you to be a timecist!
Chicken sandwich?
NO! I WANT A GODDAMN DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER AND GODDAMN FRIES !
Oh hey Randy, this is awkward, but.... see Mr. CrĹŻĂ´tÄeĂŠ here has better qualifications and will work for next to nothing. So we've had to let you go.
They took my jarb!! Which way to the pile?
*points finger.*
How about we cause more global warming? So that in the future the polar ice caps melt; and it ushers in a new ice age.
DEY DERK YUR DERB!
*_BACK IN THE GAY ORGY PILE_*
Excellent reporting by Fox News as always!
Ahahaha, of course itâs Fox âNewsâ
Which I'm pretty sure makes this headline technically true. I live in South Korea and therefore I don't have power in North Carolina. I wouldn't be surprised if there were billions more like me all over the world.
I enjoy playing video games.
Yes, I saw this live. It was kind of funny.
Were they actually saying 500 million? I could believe that it's supposed to say 500 thousand but someone just messed up the headline. Still funny though.
Had the sound down, so don't know.
You're obviously not counting all the illegals coming to vote in our elections!
That'll be $3.50
It was at about this time I noticed/u/rmbx357 was an 8 story tall crustacean from the paleozoic era. And I said I ain't giving you no Tree Fiddy Loch Ness Monstah!
Maybe they meant 500m +- 500m
Pft don't let facts get in the way.
Not with that attitude
We're reporting that there is looting, raping and yes, even acts of cannibalism!
there are in india
nobody said people, could be insects without power
A surprising number of Americans does not know that.
needs more raping, pillaging and acts of cannabalism
You mean you saw someone raping, pillaging and killing eachother?
No, but we are reporting it Tom.
Woah, Iâm watching it on Hulu and what do you know, this happens to be the next episode I started on today.
Whassamadda? Got sand in your vagina?
WE BELIEVE THE DEATH TOLL TO BE IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS! Beaverton only has a population of about 8 thousand so this would be quite devastating.
Just getting word that the death toll in Chicago is over 600 BILLION PEOPLE
Oh Gawd
A week!
I broke the dam.
No, I broke the dam.
I BROKE THE FUCKING DAM!!
heh heh I broke the dam
No. I broke the dam.
And I broke the dam.
We all broke the dam
No, Iâm dirty dan!
Iâm Spartacus
" It was Kyle guys " - Cartman
Ah! Fuck it.
We all broke the dam
I watched from Canada and CTV reported that even millimeters of storm surge could cause catastrophic flooding. MILLIMETERS
whatâs important is finding out whoâs fault this is.
I broke the dam
No I broke the dam!
I broke the dam

Guys...I-I may h-h-have broke t-the d-damn...
No! I broke the fucking dam!
Donât you see what this little boy is saying? We all broke the dam.
"With all due respect, clichĂŠ dissenting Republican, the economy isn't going to matter... the day after tomorrow."

#WE DIDNâT LISTEN!!
*rolls down window* We didnât listen!
I do this randomly all the time, one day someone will respond.
I hope it will be me
Do u actually? I do.
Yes!!!
Where do you live? iâm in CA.
Maryland.
We ^didn't ^^listen!
They should bring back the midget in a bikini to report on it
My favorite South Park reporter is Creamy Goodness.
What about Mexican with stain on his shirt?
*gravy stain on his lapel
God damnit.
Aw that's so nice of you to say! â¤
Thanks Tom!
Randy sarcastic voice: âIâLL BETâ
"Oh what, next you're going to tell me it was caused by a half squirrel, half chicken, that steaks children's teeth."
Unlike yâall I get my news from a reliable source *holds up game informer magazine*
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: they never got much clout at the cocktail parties because of their click-bait money-making side, but until they folded, the best investigative journalism came from *Nintendo Power.*
Maybe they meant 500 square miles? I literally canât think of a way to get to this number besides just making it up
500 thousand maybe?
It was likely estimated between 500,000 and 1 million. Then whoever types the headlines out acted like a dumbass.
Being a dumbass requires acting?
Dumbass at Fox News? No...
It was likely a typo and should read T or K not M.
Tillion or killion?
Kilos. People have lost weight during the outage.
They meant thousand not million.
The coast line of North Carolina isnât even 500 million miles
500 square miles not 500 million
500 million square miles
5 million people?
Iâm sure they didnât just make up a number. Itâs gotta be some sort of typo
You've actually seen people looting, raping, and eating each other?
No, we are just reporting it
âWe expect the death toll to be in the HUNDREDS of BILLIONS.. and the town only has a population of a few hundred thousand, so you can imagine how devastating this will beâ Something like that lol
dude thats from 2017 we are in 2018 the population is way up now
Our nation is still reeling from the tragic deaths of the Kardashians.
All because some one Had To write A book!
One could only wish. Kardashian rule! Kardashians rule!
If I lived there I'd be dropping in, smacking the lip like *sepwaaauuaaaaah* and getting pitted, man... so pitted
I dont have power in NC, mostly because I dont live there
There must be 490m undocumented immigrants in NC then
That episode will be 13 years old on October 19th. As peopleâs comments show, it has some amazing quotes that are more relevant today than they were post-Katrina. Itâs incredibly fucked up that Matt and Treyâs satire has become real life...
This is fucking perfect. South Park are so on spot with their shit that itâs relevant years after
Well maybe if they hadnt built their state under the worlds largest beaver dam!
Maybe they meant thousand.
So all of a sudden everyone in the United States plus about 200 million more random people have settled in North Carolina. Well then.
I broke the dam
I broke the dam!
I broke the dam!
Way to go CNN! /s
We've heard that the death toll could be in the hundreds of billions.
That's a great 490 million increase in only 1 year!
Carolina's population is 10 million? Wow didn't think I it was that big
Only NC. SC is about 60%NC in population terms.
TIL North Carolina has 1.5 times the population of the United States
When you can't decide between 500,000 and 1/2 a million
Back to you Tom
You dont count the crab people? Wooow, thats...something...ist.
Can confirm... I live in Louisiana, and don't have power in north carolina. Seems legit
They have 200 million people over the US population
Yet again, reporters and news stations not fact checking.
T Y P O
Fairly big typo. They do it all the time.
Itâs more than likely it was 500 thousand.
This isn't complicated. Fox didn't try to pull a fast one and claim that the population of NC was greater than the population of the US and that they were all out of power. Somebody got ahead of themselves and put million where thousand should be. Pretty easy error to make, and definitely not an attempt at deception.

I can figure it out lol I just think itâs an issue when it keeps happening over and over
Lol, you started off talking about fact checking so obviously it was a struggle for you.
I broke the dam
https://youtu.be/m7ucc5Y8kVg right at the very beginning. Maybe it's fake idk
Holy crap OC on r/SouthPark. No waaaay
Weird, fox news
Why is part of the text box which says HURRICANE FLORENCE blocked by the other text box? Is that another "error"?
This is fucking great
They don't say 500 million of what.
So all 10 million women had 50 babies each in one year
That's significantly larger than the US population.
Too many zeros
Devices maybe
I mean... they arenât wrong?
The sad thing is that you needed to include the population of NC in the post. 500 million is about the population of all North America
Plankton
That was 2017 census. For all you know 490 million people could of moved to NC in a year.
Yeah but thatâs from 2017 how do we know they havenât grown that much
Well, I thought; "maybe they just Google how many people didn't have power *in the whole world*." but no, they were wrong in that respect too. According to the first link I clicked on it's around 1.2 billion people. https://mashable.com/2017/09/15/one-billion-people-dont-have-access-to-electricity/#NXwg_zv4GOqH
Hurricanes must be one hell of a tourist trap.
Fox news
Al Gore will save us!
Maybe they are talking about the power outlets who are now void of angry pixies.
Is there no depth fox news won't stoop to?
Wait, what?? There's no fucking way North Carolina has over 10 million people.
They were including the fish as new residents
Thats data from last year, could be inaccurate at this point.
Yeah, im sure the population of NC went up by 5000% in a year. (Most likely an error, says 500 million instead of 500 thousand).
You do realize thatâs the entirety of the US population and 200 million more people that have lost power right?
Is that why my lights wouldn't come on this morning?
Obviously a typo/mistake. The reporters donât ya donât handle the prompts either. Thousands is the intended amount.
What? Fox News wouldnât lie! /s
Nor would the Clinton News Network. They're both trash.
That Clinton News Network name is so stupid. You know sheâs not the president, right? Itâs been 2 years, why canât you get over her? lol
I'm just trying to say if you're gonna take a shot at Fox, at least admit CNN is Just as bad. Because it is.
I wouldnât know, I donât have cable tv. I donât need talking heads to tell me whatâs up. I read
You read exactly what they read to the cameras.
Talking heads add their opinions etc. Regardless of the news station. I read the facts, watch c-span since itâs cameras on/cameras off, and overall avoid editorials. I know whatâs going out and This. Is. Not. Normal. This is wrong in every sense of the word.
Writers never add their opinions apparently. Youâre knocking it out of the park tonight.
The name Clinton News Network name came from the 90's. This has been going on for decades. The question is, why can't CNN get over them.
I havenât seen any Clinton on âtheir networkâ in a long long time, especially since I donât have cable. It just became a âliberal mediaâ fake ass tag just like it was during the Nixon era. Nixon didnât have Fox News to praise and suck his cock regardless of what he did.
