Summary
Fox News faced online backlash after a segment on "The Ingraham Angle" coined the term "Algae Derangement Syndrome" to mock media coverage of the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has been plagued by algae and pond scum. Guest host Lisa Boothe questioned why journalists were so focused on the pool's condition, suggesting it was a slow news day. Critics on social media accused Fox News of deflecting legitimate criticism of a costly renovation project that quickly became unsightly.
