Fox nearly sued itself over 'Simpsons' parody: Matt Groening

Those damn liberals at it again, may God spare them the wrath of Bill O'Reilly...

Typical Hollywood though, I don't blame Fox News for trying to use Uncle Rupert's money to sue the show that helped Uncle Rupert make that money. Someone recite heartsurgeon's "liberal attack mantra" for me, its obvious Groening and the boys were following it. I'm too sickened by the actions of liberal Jewish pinko Hollywood to look it up myself.

"Now Fox has a new rule that we can't do those little fake news crawls on the bottom of the screen in a cartoon because it might confuse the viewers into thinking it's real news," he said.

sadly, some americans....

OMG, Fox nearly outdid itself in the stupidity department. FNC is certainly a litigious bunch.

simpsons stopped being funny a while back anyway. And i have to respond to REIAYANAMI. al franken is an idiot. And fox news is the least biased of the networks, he wrote that book with his 16 or so man reasearch team just because the stories foxnews tells are spun left.

If you disagree you can start a new thread and if i see it i will respond

Frankly, that post doesn't even deserve a true response.

That episode was funny as crap. When they went to the news anchor, he said

"Your watching Fox news, Home of Evil"

We have a thread on Franken's book already. Feel free to post to it, particularly if you have any information that contradicts the truth of Franken's assertions.

that was a pretty funny parody
they had a halo around krusty the klown's head (the republican) and the anchorman kept calling him "congressman" before the election had begun.
and to the democrat the anchorman said something like, "you make an adulterous point, comrade."

the simpsons is still one of the best shows on TV, sure its not as funny as it used to be.
but try and find some comedy show that is better, that has been on that long and one that it's quality never degraded.
good luck.

So you see as facts:

A. Simpsons isn't funny.

B. Franken's an idiot.

C. Fox is leftist.


Please, oh please, may I subscribe to your newsletter.

He frequently gives them credit throughout the book depending on what chapter they contributed to.

Yep, and he even has their pictures in the book. They're all wearing "Team Franken" shirts. :D
