Ever Dreamed of Infiltrating the Fox News Mothership? You and Martha MacCallum Both Know the Answer is No. (But Here's What You Can Do)
Let's face it, folks, the idea of a Fox News studio tour is about as likely as stumbling upon a stash of Bernie Sanders mittens in the Mar-a-Lago gift shop. Security there's tighter than a Tucker Carlson monologue.
But fear not, intrepid adventurer! While you might not be able to snag a selfie with Sean Hannity mid-rant, there are still ways to get your fill of Fox-y flavor in the Big Apple.
Option 1: Become a Fly on the Wall (Figuratively, Not Literally. Please Don't Get Arrested)
Okay, so this option isn't exactly sanctioned by Fox News, but hey, where there's a will, there's a way (and maybe a telephoto lens). The Fox News HQ is located on a bustling Manhattan street corner. Grab a pastrami on rye from a nearby deli and post up across the street. Who knows? You might catch a glimpse of Laura Ingraham grabbing a cab in full makeup, or maybe even snag a blurry photo of a staffer carrying a box labeled "Wolf Blitzer's Hair Dye."
Pro tip: If you see someone yelling into a phone and gesticulating wildly, that's probably not part of the tour.
Option 2: Channel Your Inner Audience Member (Without the Week-Long Cruise)
Did you know that The Greg Gutfeld Show actually has a live studio audience? That's right, folks! You can be part of the roar of laughter (or maybe just the confused muttering) as Greg cracks wise about the latest political gaffe. Head over to their website and snag some free tickets. Just be prepared to explain to your grandkids in 20 years why you have a photo of yourself high-fiving Tyrus.
Bonus points: If you manage to get selected for "Ask the Greg," try to stump him with a question about, oh, I don't know, maybe the history of investigative journalism.
Option 3: Embrace the Neighborhood (Fox News HQ Isn't the Only Attraction on the Block)
Let's be honest, spending all day near Fox News HQ might give you a bit of political whiplash. Luckily, you're in New York City, a place overflowing with things to see and do. Check out nearby attractions like the Museum of Modern Art, or grab a slice of pizza and people-watch in Times Square.
Remember: There's a whole world out there beyond cable news punditry (and maybe that world is a little less stressful).
So there you have it, folks! While a Fox News studio tour might be a fantasy, there are still plenty of ways to experience the unique energy of their New York City headquarters. Just remember, safety first (don't climb any buildings!), and maybe pack a book on media literacy – it might come in handy.
