Ingraham Mocks Biden For Correctly Naming Telescope

Yahoo News reports:

Fox News host Laura Ingraham was forced to deliver an on-air correction in the middle of her show after a crack about President Joe Biden instead exposed her own ignorance. Ingraham and regular guest Raymond Arroyo were mocking the president’s speech on AI.

“Good lord,” Arroyo said as Ingraham rolled her eyes and sternly shook her head. “Did he call it the web telescope?” Ingraham said after the two bantered about AI. “Isn’t it Hubble? Is he thinking of web Hubble? I don’t understand.” “Who knows,” Arroyo said, as the two laughed.

The Daily Beast reports:

Shortly after, the Fox host cleared things up. “There is a Webb telescope that I didn’t know about,” she told viewers. “I stand corrected by Joe Biden.” Since its launch on Christmas 2021, the telescope—which is more advanced than the much older yet still active Hubble telescope—has captured a stunning array of images of the solar system and points beyond.
