From yesterday's Borowitz Report:
-----
A Connecticut jury's imposition of a billion-dollar penalty on Alex Jones
will have a "chilling effect on lying," Tucker Carlson warned.

Choking back tears as he delivered his commentary, the Fox News host said
that the jury's decision "was no more and no less than a direct attack on
the lying life style."

"For those of us who make our living by spreading falsehoods, baseless conspiracy theories, and extremist fever dreams, this is a time to be
afraid," he said. "Very afraid."

"I think I speak for many Fox viewers when I say I don't want to live
under a tyranny of facts," he added.

Carlson's concerns about the impact of the jury's decision on the
mendacity profession found support on Capitol Hill from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"I want to say that the jury was manipulated by mind-control rays beamed
down from the Rothschild family's satellites, but now I can't afford
to," she said.

(For those who are unaware, the Borowitz Report is satire and is plainly labeled as such.)
