Fox Pokes Fun At Fox News

[DToTheJ]

You know you're a popular network when even the entertainment wing of Fox takes a jab at you.

That's the case in a scene from the new 20th Century Fox movie "Vampires Suck," in which a character says that vampires are "evil blood suckers who only care about themselves and their own narrow-minded view of the world... Sort of like Fox News.”

Of course, "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" have also lampooned the cable news channel.

It's all about publicity - free advertising for FNC.

Fox News has become a parody of itself. Former Bush adviser Dan Senor appeared on Fox and Friends to report to those 3 idiot hosts that one of the big funders of the "Mosque" (really a cultural center) "at Ground Zero" (actually a couple of blocks away) is a man named Al-Waleed bin Talal, a shadowy Saudi sheik who has funded radical "madrassahs" (radical Islamic schools) all over the world.

As it turns out, the sinister Al Waleed is also a major shareholder in Fox News. At the following link, you can see the supposed terrorist funder yukking it up with Rupert Murdoch.

The imam behind the Cordoba House has described it as a mosque. It was only after that idiot president we currently have had to open his pie hole and create the firestorm around it that Fuzzy the imam backed off and started calling it a cultural center.

"at Ground Zero" (actually a couple of blocks away)

They have found body parts on this and other buildings in the area as late as this summer. The entire area is a gigantic grave. There are still remains everywhere. This IS Ground Zero.

So I guess that means that you libs can't call Fox News a conservative outlet anymore then.

So putting in a mall on the actual site of the attack is a proper way to honor the fallen?

"Hey, show your patriotic spirit by paying ten bucks for a foamy coffee-likedrink, and after you're done at the Gigantic Grave Shopping Emporium, head over to get a lap dance at the srtip club nearby, and get a Whopper to make sure your arteries long remember your visit."

But by all means, don't let some people who look different and have different-sounding names build
a cultural center nearby. Because that, not the strippers and shopping, that would somehow be a dishonor to those who perished (Muslims included).

Sure, more advertising for an already top-rated news network, but none for CNN. It must suck to be them right now.

The Daily Show recently did a segment about the "Mosque"-Fox News connection, and at the end of the segment Jon says we must stop watching Fox News. I realize this is a comedy show, but this is silly. Every time I watch clips of The Daily Show online, he goes on and on about Fox News and I hardly hear anything about CNN or MSNBC. Maybe I'm missing those days when he does go after the other networks since I tend to jump to the Lewis Black's "Back in Black" segments.

If it wasn't for Lewis' segments, I doubt I would pay any attention to Daily Show now.

I'm sure he'd have asked viewers to "quarantine" Fox News, but Olbermann no doubt probably holds that trademark...

Actually, The Daily Show spends a fair amount of time skewering CNN, and they aim an occasional shot at MSNBC. But Fox News is definitely their primary target. That's not hard to figure - Stewart is a liberal, and FNC is conservative.

When they skewer the other cable news outlets, it's often not the politics - Stewart likes to run clips of Rick Sanchez acting like an idiot...easy target.

I already knew that Jon Stewart is a liberal because I've been watching The Daily Show for years. I just haven't pay much attention to the show in the last couple of years other than the "Back in Black" segments.

My issue with everyone else making fun of Fox News is that it's just so cliche at this point.
