Have you acquainted yourself with some Real Human Praise? If not, you’re just a click away from arguably the greatest Twitter feed on the internet. Earlier this month, Stephen Colbert decided to create a Twitter account called @RealHumanPraise that, with the use of an algorithm, spouts off praise for Fox News every 2 minutes. The Twitterbot, designed by Colbert Report‘s staff writer Rob Dubbin, takes glowing film reviews from Rotten Tomatoes and inserts the names of Fox News anchors and segments in place of the films and actors’ names. The results make for some hilariously poetic tweets that sound like what John Keats would be reciting if he was held hostage by a Republican brainwashing operative. The tweets have always been brilliant, but this weekend the Twitterbot was in fine form, spitting out some of its funniest tweets yet. Praise Fox, indeed.
Violent, quirky, and darkly funny, Fox News Sunday delivers an original crime story and a wonderful performance by Wallace. #PraiseFOX

Funny, pathetic, sad, absurdist — host-anchor Sean Hannity plays it any number of ways, and makes them all work. #PraiseFOX

With no supernatural elements to speak of, it is as much an historical drama as a horror network. #PraiseFOX

Not the sort of network you actually enjoy, but its terrific love fragmentary and haunting images are not easily forgotten. #PraiseFOX
