"The Simpsons" takes another shot at Fox News

http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/3e025cad45/the-simpsons-take-yet-another-shot-at-fox-news

But did last night's message amount to overkill?

The Simpsons is Rupert's biggest cash cow (along with American Idol and the Murdoch Street Journal), so if OFF wants to make jokes about News Corp entities then more power to OFF.

And no, I don't hate conservatives (or liberals), they are fine. I CAN'T STAND whiny neo-cons and I *REALLY* can't stand Rupert "Monopoly" Murdoch.

I always thought that was part of the joke, that they were "biting the hand that feeds them". They aren't making fun of FOX because of some specific ideology, they are making fun of FOX because that's where The SImpsons airs.

We've also seen the show make fun of other FOX shows. Like the time they referenced "The OC" (also on FOX) with some tv show the family was watching that was in the same vein as "The OC".

It's a combination of that and the fact that Matt Groening (and who knows how many writers, although a lot of them did go to Harvard) is notoriously liberal. He makes no secret of this in a number of his "Life in Hell" strips.

Making fun of Fox was a running gag on "Married with Children". They even had a special "Fox Viewing Position" (referring to the poor reception that the network got in the early years).

And have you noticed how ALL of the radio rightards have resurrected their annual "war on christmas" bullshit?

Every time a fundementalist does't get their way it is a "war" against Christianity. The same people who spend the rest of the year whining about the "liberal cult of victimhood", no doubt.

Maybe somebody should explain to them that it's not really a war until someone takes some lead in the ass.
