Do Democrats Cause Cancer? FAUX Nooze Wanted To Sue Simpsons
In today's interview on NPR's "Fresh Air" Matt Groening reveals that FAUX wanted to sue the "The Simpsons" if it ran that episode where they parodied the same news network and its naked partisanship.

Now FAUX has a new rule saying they can't show the FAUX Nooze on its program because, I'm not kidding, the audience might mistake it for the actual news network! Sort of reveals the relative intelligence of FAUX viewers.

Here's the REAL clip, six minutes in.

1. I could never make that mistake.
Kent Brockman is fair and balanced.

That had to be the funniest thing I've seen in years.

They even superimposed the USSR flag behind the Democrat....

9. For Anti-Litigation Conservatives
they sure do love suing people. Don't they? I guess only the rich and the powerful should have the right to sue.
