Tom Hanks Delivers Reality Check On ‘MS NOW’

Actor Tom Hanks jabbed at liberal outlet MSNOW, mocking the far left outlet when a reporter caught up to him on Thursday at the opening of former President Barack Obama’s Presidential Library in Chicago.

The “Toy Story” actor, dressed for the outdoor occasion in a black blazer and round sunglasses, turned to the reporter and asked what information he should share with the “800” people who might be likely to be tuned in to the network.

The reporter was naming off some of the famous people in attendance at the library’s opening, mentioning Doris Kearns Goodwin before turning to address Hanks.

“What can I do for the 800 people watching MSNOW?” the actor asked as the reporter turned toward him.

“Come on,” the reporter pushed back, telling Hanks that the shot was live.

“All right, add a zero to it if you need to,” Hanks laughed.

“I would say millions, now that you’re on our air,” the reporter replied.

“All right, all right,” Hanks laughed.

The library opening drew a massive crowd, including former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden — along with their respective First Ladies – and former Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as a number of celebrities. The opening ceremony itself was largely mocked across conservative media because it began with a land acknowledgement to the native tribes that had occupied the area previously.

The fifth film in Hanks’ “Toy Story” franchise opened in theaters on Friday, June 19 — and had already set off alarm bells when it set the wrong kind of record for Pixar. The critics’ rating for the latest installment ranked lower than any of the previous four on film site Rotten Tomatoes, coming in at 94%. The fourth ranked three points higher at 97%, and the first two had perfect scores of 100%. Critics have argued that the franchise lost its way as the final offering failed to provide a real “villain” in the story.
