Fox News Preps News Satire Show

Fox News Preps News Satire Show

“The way I look at it, almost every comedy show or satire show I see uses the same talking points against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney,” Surnow said. “The other side hasn’t been skewered in a fair and balanced way.”

I sense one small problem with this idea: conservatives aren’t really very funny. Besides, Fox News already has plenty of failed attempts at comedy. How else can you explain “Hannity and Colmes” or “The O’Reilly Factor”?
