I don’t know what that is.

Rufus would probably tell you there is no such thing as Rufus.

Does Bender actually say bags of mostly water? Because that is a Star Trek reference.

Well OAN is known for presenting literal hoaxes as news, so they seem comfortable with lies being given to them.

Surprised that Fox is on here.

If they turn out to be dead, that would be a shame. Can’t have the award. Secondly, that would make the committee look bad.

EDIT: Just to be clear in case you are unaware, only people who are alive can qualify for an award.

Preunion tour? They will do a tour in honor for reuniting before they break up?

I’m a 34-year-old male and I still love that song.

There is a big difference between. Most people who aren’t actively engaged in this type of discourse like you and I, or don’t pay meticulous attention to conservative media outlets, likely don’t know who Kirk is, let alone care.

MLK Jr. got historically important exposure on television with the broadcast of the March on Washington, D.C. This was one of the first civil rights events to be televised. When you have a new medium to disseminate news that for the first time gives you not just the voice but the image of the people involved, I think that has a huge impact. Prior to this, MLK Jr. was a highly respected religious leader.

Most people today, would probably have to seek out non-governmental sides of political discourse, to even know who Kirk is. I have no doubt your average conservative that watches Fox News has been exposed to Kirk, but they likely won’t recall any talking points. He wasn’t in an elected office. Today, that would probably be the only reason any lay person would listen to them.

Someone probably equates the political nature and him being white to what happened to MLK Jr.
