Downton Abbey "Poses A Threat To The Left" Because It Portrays Nice Rich People, So Says Fox News



The popularity of Downton Abbey in America is a threat to progressives because it celebrates rich people, according to FOX & Friends:

“Rich people, powerful people, in America today, are reviled,” Varney said. “They’re dismissed as fat cats who don’t pay their fair share.” The general consensus is that “rich people are evil.”

Then comes along Downton Abbey… making rich people seem nice. The characters in the show are kind and generous. “They create jobs, for heaven’s sake. They’re classy, they’ve got style.”

“It poses a threat to the left, doesn’t it?” he asked. Because the left says we must hate rich people.

There have been an unfortunate number of times when I've gotten a FOX headline mixed up with an Onion headline.

i'M pretty sure at one point FOX news used The Onion as a source for their news.

Was it the abortionplex thing? Or that might have been a republican senator. Either way it was hilarious.
