“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said one of President Donald Trump’s first moves in office got some unusual coverage on Fox News this week.
Trump signed an executive order delaying enforcement of a ban on TikTok, giving the company 75 additional days to find a deal that would help it avoid a shutdown, which had been scheduled to kick in on Sunday.
But the right-wing network made one very noticeable error as they reported on the move.
“Fox News ran a story about it and accidentally called the platform ‘TITKOK,’” Colbert pointed out.
The typo also went viral on social media:
“Don’t worry,” Colbert mockingly reassured his audience. “Thanks to Trump, ‘Titkok’ is still available. As are Peen-terest, Faceboob and Clitter.”
