Fox News Fell for a Reddit Joke About Monty Python

According to Fox News,
Seattle’
s peaceful Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone has become the center of
infighting among activists who have made it a police-free space

 

We didn’t believe it
completely because it is Fox News, after all, and half the things they report
turn out to be false anyway. The video of the fights surfaced, showing a
massive disagreement in the ranks of those who are protesting police violence
in Seattle. If you want to know why we don’t believe it, then the answer is
simple: It’s a joke copied from Monty Python and Holy Grail.

“There’s infighting
among some of the occupiers, and some signs of rebellion against Raz Simone —
who we introduced you to here on the story last night,”
intoned the Fox News
anchor. “One posting on social media that has now been deleted, read this: ‘I
didn’t vote for Raz. I thought we were an autonomous collective? An
anarcho-syndicalist commune at the least.’”

The post is a joke from a famous scene in the 1975 cult movie when King Arthur
converses with a mud farming peasant about different forms of government.

 

“We take it in turns to
act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that
officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority
in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the
case of purely external affairs,”
explains Dennis.

A Reddit post was
played on Fox News that contains word-to-word dialogues from the movie.

 

Apparently, everyone
got the joke except for Fox News.
