MS NOW anchor Katy Tur finished off her “Moment with Katy Tur” Tuesday segment with a hearty laugh at Fox News and other Republican propaganda outlets struggling to sell the success of President Donald Trump’s 250th celebration with its empty grass lawns and unpopulated stalls.

“One more thing before we go, [these are] moments that ask who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?” Tur said, before unleashing a devastating supercut of the propaganda outlets lying to their viewers’ faces.
“We are celebrating already at the great American State Fair! Man, we’ve got thousands of people celebrating this birthday with us, Tommy” said one Fox on-the-ground anchor describing “thousands” of audience members who appeared nowhere in sight.
“As you’ve seen yourself, there is a big energy here on the National Mall,” said another Fox News reporter, describing “big energy” that clearly wasn’t. “The crowd sizes were smaller in the morning but it has picked up quite a bit.”
It hadn’t, according to footage directly behind the reporter.
“The State Fair is generating a lot of headlines and we have seen more people come to see it for themselves, including right to the Ferris wheel. You will zoom in here and see the crowds that are lined up for a chance to see Washington unlike any other way,” he insisted, gesturing to “crowds” positioned too far away from the camera to immediately discern as paltry.
“Well, it’s a great day, Larry. Good afternoon. Perhaps now the closing bell is here we’re going to get more people coming out here now that work is done,” said another reporter, likely hoping beyond reason for a crowd surge unlikely to happen on the clean, empty grass field.

“Such a fabulous setting and on such a grand occasion it really is great,” said another anchor, discussing the setting — which was true: It was a great setting, just with no people in it.
“It really is great. People are having a great time here,” said his the co-host, referring to nobody in particular, according to footage on the screen.
“As you’ve seen here, people are there, they are showing up, they are here,” said Tur, mockingly. “They’re just wearing their invisibility cloaks.”
The Great American State Fair kicked off on Wednesday night, June 24 with a speech by President Donald Trump on the National Mall in Washington, DC. However, attendance at the event has been sizably low.
