^^^THE ABOVE WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY "KRUSTY LOVES AMERICA!"

Heheh, too funny. Gotta love The Simpson's. Hard to imagine that Fox would really believe that Fox News viewers would confuse a cartoon with an actual news report. I'm sure it just ticked them off.

Funny stuff, my favorite headlines:

"Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at FoxNews.com."

"Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay."

"Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple."

I've recently re-discovered them thanks to the XYL.:D

I believe the answer to the question is:

Yes.

Sadly, heart wrenchingly, yes.

I wonder if someone actually went to foxnews.com and searched for "Do Democrats Cause Cancer?" And Fox News backtracked it to The Simpsons.

Stands to reason.

I really don't see the difference, Fox News IS a cartoon... isn't it?

It's that authoritarian/follower complex thing at work there.

Simpson's is all made up and so is Fox News.
