Faux news parody reporting historical events
I would love to see some creative types do a comic parody of Faux news reporting historical events. A Daily Show or Saturday Night Live type sketch comedy.

The Revolutionary War: Faux sides with the tories against the anti-colonists

Jefferson: A non-Christian, non-puritan radical

The Civil War: Federal involvement in what should be a state's right

Civil Rights Movement: Radicals wanting Federal involvement to overturn "tradition"

I'm certain they would be on the WRONG side of history every time. It would be really funny if done as a true parody based on their opinion commentators and even their news were they put the accent on the wrong syllable (sil e'-bel). :evilgrin:

1. That would be hilarious
Because, since the right wingnuts have been on the wrong side of history nearly always, as a right wing shill, you can bet Faux News would be as well.

"The War of Northern Aggression! It's not REALLY about slavery, it's about state's rights! We report, you decide!"
