Bizarro Media Bureau- The going got strange when FOX News anchor Lauren Green interviewed ivy league professor Ellie Tist about her new history book, "Yes We Khan: The Audacity of Genghis".
After exchanging pleasantries with the author, Green began asking odd questions.
"I just want to be clear, you don't know Genghis Khan personally, and you've never been a citizen of the Mongolian Empire. Why write this book?"
Appearing confused for a moment, Tist collected herself and replied. "Well, I've spent 20 years studying the history of Asia and have several relevant degrees. They don't pay me to teach university level history for my good looks!"
The same can not be said of Green, a former beauty queen that decided to translate her pageant-certified appeal into a career in front of the camera. Though she did indeed find a place in the FOX News media empire, it became apparent that she had no intention of doing any homework when she was assigned an interview.
"She's nice, really, but she's a little bit....special," said one former staff member. "I really don't like insinuating that someone should be fired, but we bit our nails every time she was behind the desk."
Things have changed little in that respect, as floor directors prompted her to wrap after five full minutes of Green failing to comprehend the concept of someone researching and profiling a man who had been dead since 1227 CE,
"It was mystifying," said Professor Tist. "Lauren casually dismissed pretty much every book ever written. How can you write 'Harry Potter' if you're not a wizard? How can Bill O'Reilly write about Abraham Lincoln if he never met the man? This seems like something that would have been covered in Kindergarten."
When we reached out to News Corp. President Rupert Murdoch, he had little to say on the matter.
"She's the blonde one, right? Oi, yeah mate. I'll talk to 'er straight away after I chat with me lawyer this aftanoon. Ex-wife's got my shrimps on the barbie, she does."
