'Fox and Friends' falls for ruse alleging purchase of $1 billion of jetpacks for LAPD, Fire Department | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times

Fox and Friends believed this story that the LA fire department was spending a billion dollars on jetpacks. It sounds like something you'd read in The Onion:

"Fox and Friends" reported that the jetpacks can reach speeds of 63 miles an hour and reach an altitude of 8,000 feet. And then came the questions.

Co-host Gretchen Carlson said that while she was "all for buying stuff up and helping the capitalism and all that" she wondered whether the costs would be prohibitive in a bad economy.

Brian Kilmeade wondered about possible safety issues.

?You gotta make up some rules,? Kilmeade said. ?Because you?re going to have jetpacks flying into choppers!?

If you close your eyes you can escape reality in your mind.

You're assuming that I'm a liberal. I'll define my own title thank you.
