You were born 10 years too late, anon. Back in the day there was lots of RPF, even of Fox News anchors.

[(Anonymous)]

Was Shepard Smith in the RPF mix?

[(Anonymous)]

What channel are we talking here

because if it's Fox, no, absolutely not

[(Anonymous)]

CNN

[(Anonymous)]

eh, go on then

[(Anonymous)]

The fuck? Who in fandom criticizes CNN?

[(Anonymous)]

If you live in the south, then almost everyone. Also CNN and modern American journalism has been criticized before for 24 hour, sensationalized news cycles that is more glitz than substance in comparison to international news, but I think those sort of criticisms are different than/beyond the rationale that a racist uncle in a trumpmobile has in being against CNN.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm from the South. I've never met anyone in fandom who criticized CNN. I've met a few Republicans, but they damn sure kept their mouths shut about it in fandom so they didn't get blocked to high heaven.

[(Anonymous)]

I live in the South as well, and it all depends where you live. I live in a very much blue city (and the state in general is starting to lean more towards purple/blue) and most people aren't falling for the whole 'fake news' bit. I'm sure that there are some people who are, but for the most part it's not here. Go about an hour outside of the city and I'm sure that it's quite different though.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

I'm going to guess there are some Republicans in fandom, though probably not a lot of Trump supporters. But even Democrats and Progressives have been know to have issues with CNN, even with it's liberal slant (I do think it is better at maintaining objectivity than quite a few other outlets). There are a fair few that people that are not big fans of Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, or a few other past and current contributors. And there was that stupid false story about Scaramucci last year. Plus, they are sort of blamed for the all day news cycle and sensationalizing things that shouldn't be.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, CNN is pretty shitty overall, even though it's orders of magnitude less bad than Fox

[(Anonymous)]

As a Democrat, I wish CNN would spend more time on, you know, NEWS. I appreciate the commitment to keeping Trump on notice but if I tune into something called the Cable News Network during primetime, I should be able to get a run-down of what's happening in the world instead of just a panel of talking heads discussing politics for 100% of each of the evening news programs.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it fox news or breitbart? Otherwise I don't get the fake news part.

If it fox news/breitbart then go ahead and ship the hell out of them, fuck it. If they don't care about little things like human morality, then I'm pretty sure you won't be bothering them with a bit of some rpf.

If it's not fox/breitbart, either way it should be fine to have crushes. God knows it can happen to anyone. Have some fun, and of course stay civil.

But still, if you're crushing on the equivalent of Alex Jones, lmao.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, CNN. I meant there's the perception that it's "fake news", not that I actually see it that way. But thank you. :)

And the idea of anyone crushing on Alex Jones is...kind of terrifying lol.

[(Anonymous)]

It's the frog juice, man. Gives Jones that extra sex appeal to his supporters.

CNN? I don't blame you then, OP. ;) Hope you have fun with it! :D

[(Anonymous)]

Clearly you should deal with your shippy feelings by writing an original novel starring thinly veiled versions of these two anchors going undercover fake dating.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 would read

[(Anonymous)]

lmao is that a thing?

[(Anonymous)]

Haha I'm trying to figure out why the anchors fake dating would be in any way necessary to any news-related undercover thing but I guess people will take any excuse they can for shipping!

[(Anonymous)]

Alright, so they said it's CNN, anyone have any guess who the two anchors are?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm honestly at a complete loss over which anchors are criticized.

Jim Acosta maybe?

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Like someone else mentioned, if you live in the south probably all of them by your insane uncle or grandpa, but in fandom? Not sure.

I'm guessing probably Anderson Cooper and someone, since he's the one I always see people saying is hot lol.

[(Anonymous)]

OP - do not listen to what anyone else thinks about your ship. You are not a monster for shipping RPF, nor are you one for shipping two news anchors and anyone who wants to bring all this fake news business into it needs a slap because this is not political; it's fantasizing about two guys being together FFS. Fucking go for it and don't look back.
