Jimmy Kimmel used Fox News's 30th anniversary to deliver what he called a 'backhanded congratulations,' describing the network as 'a BET for angry white grandpas' and running a reel of its past lowlights. He credited Rupert Murdoch with asking 'what if the news was whatever I want it to be' and turning that into, in Kimmel's telling, the reason viewers can't talk to their fathers anymore.

The segment leaned on a montage of old clips rather than new reporting, built entirely around the anniversary hook. No response from Fox News was included.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
