FOX News says 32+32=62? - General

[video=youtube;Cvkpo2bpQT4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvkpo2bpQT4[/video] (Excuse the bad quality of this video) SPOILER ALERT:32+32=64

you can tell she's really trying her best to figure out the math when she starts aggressively shaking her fist

It's too late, her generation has already been affected!! We're doomed.

It's Jon Stewart's initial reaction to it that makes it so golden.

fox news being caught not fact checking or in factual errors... nothing new still john's reaction is what its worth

She never says anything about the classroom sizes doubling, though..

[QUOTE=Arid;46218682]She never says anything about the classroom sizes doubling, though..[/QUOTE] half the schools taking in the other half of schools means each school is handling double the load

[QUOTE=dai;46218697]half the schools taking in the other half of schools means each school is handling double the load[/QUOTE] So you're telling me every single school has exactly the same amount of students in every class, she even says "Will go from 32 students, for one teacher, to 62"

you're mutating the context to create an argument please stop

[QUOTE=bitches;46218771]you're mutating the context to create an argument please stop[/QUOTE] She literally said "for one teacher", she is [b]clearly[/b] talking about one instance of this.

What is he always writing on that blue sheet of paper? I know he does it for comedic effect here but he does it a lot especially when coming back from commercial.

[QUOTE=Arid;46218762]So you're telling me every single school has exactly the same amount of students in every class, she even says "Will go from 32 students, for one teacher, to 62"[/QUOTE] I'm telling you she did simple math with a simple premise and fucked it up. There was no "well there's 2,000 students here and 1350 there and under 800 in this one, therefore-", there was "for every two schools there will be one left over, this is an average class size, so by virtue of the simple 2:1 representation, this number doubles."

I'm bad at math but I'm not THAT bad [QUOTE=Macneil_bmx;46218605]It's Jon Stewart's initial reaction to it that makes it so golden.[/QUOTE] Jon's a charm with those

[QUOTE=Swiket;46218799]What is he always writing on that blue sheet of paper?

Apparently he's very good at keeping track of his improvised changes to the shows loose script.

They often don't write anything important on it, it's just to look important/not awkward when they have extra time between the end of a segment and a break. Most news anchors doodle or just fake write.

[QUOTE=Arid;46219036]She didn't do any math so how could she fuck up the math?[/QUOTE] Let's review her words exactly: [quote]detroit may have to close down [b]half[/b] of their public schools. Can you imagine? Half of their public schools. Classroom size- that means, will go from [b]32[/b] students... [looks at paper] to [b]62[/b][/quote] I know word problems are hard but you should at least [I]try [/I]to finish the test.

[QUOTE=dai;46219289]Let's review her words exactly: I know word problems are hard but you should at least [I]try [/I]to finish the test.[/QUOTE] I kind of get what he's saying. They wouldn't necessarily be evenly distributed if schools were closed down. But then you remember it's FOX News, and they don't think that deeply into stuff.

[QUOTE=toaster468;46218779]She literally said "for one teacher", she is [b]clearly[/b] talking about one instance of this.[/QUOTE] 62 ~ 32*2. When you're off by one or two, it's generally okay to say "double" If she's citing real numbers and not hypothetical ones, anyways.

[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;46219969]62 ~ 32*2. When you're off by one or two, it's generally okay to say "double" If she's citing real numbers and not hypothetical ones, anyways.[/QUOTE] The whole thing is hypothetical. I seriously doubt they closed [B]exactly[/B] 50% of the schools. It was likely around that, so she was just going for the 'every class size is going to double,' but fucked up her math.

9+11=9/11 only american math that matters
