On Wednesday, Fox News generated a lot of unintended online hilarity with an article that tried to manufacture a political statement out of Jamie Lee Curtis‘ latest acting job.
Curtis is reprising her iconic role of Laurie Strode this year for the latest installment of the Halloween movie franchise. Curtis will use a gun in this film as her character tries to survive Michael Myers‘ latest murder spree, and for some reason, Fox apparently decided to use this as an opportunity to call her a hypocrite because of Curtis’ real-life support for gun control.
The network covered the news in the article: Jamie Lee Curtis wields firearms in new ‘Halloween’ movie despite advocating for gun control. While the piece acknowledges that Curtis is not “entirely anti-gun,” it puts most of its focus on Hollywood figures who use guns in film roles while calling for gun safety reform across America.
Political observers took notice of the headline on Twitter, and many are not impressed with the point its trying to insinuate:
One time I saw a movie where Mark Hamill, Careie Fisher and Harrison Ford regularly violated Newtonian physics even though they CLAIM to believe in science. https://t.co/GtARZTi3nO

Dear Fox News:
Movies are pretend.
There is not really a masked madman stalking a small town in Illinois.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best,

it explains a lot if you realize that Fox News and their viewers can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality. https://t.co/w5z6DsPnpw
