Comedian John Cleese has mocked Fox News for quoting a Reddit joke that referenced Monty Python and The Holy Grail live on air as part of a report on Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
Fox News declined to comment about the Monty Python error when contacted by The Independent on Sunday.
The reporter failed to realise that the user was quoting a scene from Cleese’s famous 1975 comedy Monty Python and The Holy Grail, and the moment quickly went viral online.
#runit #goodjournalism #factchecking”, the Monty Python troupe co-founder mocked in a tweet on Monday.
