[Kokonoe]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6894936/site/newsweek "We took a look at their format and realized that it was almost identical to ours." Murdoch added, "If we really roll up our sleeves and make this merger work, we may wind up with the fairest and most balanced network mankind has ever known.”

1. Oh very funny.

"The media mogul said that changes to Al-Jazeera's programming would be "minimal" at first: "We'll be going through their news copy and every time they call President Bush 'Satan,' we'll take out the words 'President Bush' and replace them with the words 'Ted Kennedy.'""

10. As long as they don't put Laurie Dhue in a burqua

I don't know her politics, but I love her shiny lips.

Kiran Chetry and Jane "Skins" Skinner.

from Fox News. They tend to not be so "blatantly" partisan.

13. I love how some people seem to get their knowledge of Al-Jazeera...

... from a 3 year old Jay Leno routine.

That was about as funny as... uh, a 3 year old Jay Leno routine.

Borowitz seems to have forgotten the "funny" part when constructing his Onion ripoffs.
