MalkeH talking about his or her father’s reaction to Fox News. Note that the father, having grown up in Germany before World War II, had been raised as a Hitler Youth, though he later outgrew the indoctrination.
Godwin’s Law does not apply, because it is a historical reference, not invective:
One day, we had the TV on, and for whatever reason (that I have forgotten), we were watching Fox News. My father watched for about ten minutes, then he said, “What is this?”
“Fox News,” I answered.
“This is some kind of joke, right?”
“Uhm, no.”
“You mean this is an actual news show? Not satire?” My father obviously thought I was pulling his leg.
“No, it’s not satire. Why are you asking?” I said.
“Because all you have to do is change a few adjectives, and it’s Nazi talk.”
