Put the two telescopes together, you get the Webb Hubble telescope. It only beams back pictures of Chelsea Clinton.

Actually, politically correct NASA scrubbed those Chelsea photos so now she doesn’t look anything like Webb anymore!

A good report of how the main stream news sources are often by their unprofessional efforts “fake news” sources. Of course, their bias lends its support to misrepresenting the news on top of their lack of professionalism.
