Fox News tries to be intentionally funny

I guess when this was shown to Fox News executives, they thought the skit was real funny in the same sense that they think their other programs depict real news.

I mean, the idea that Fox News is putting on a "fake news show" is in itself hilarious (Irony's been down for the count before, I know it can survive this. Somehow). They really didn't have to go any further than the concept phase.

If there is a God, and if she has a good sense of humor, then they shot 16 episodes of this for our jaw-dropping pleasure.

Another sample of conservative hijinks.

I expect Roy to write a thesis on why the Right just don't get comedy. As in here -- T-Bogg again, Damn you T-Bogg! -- wherein Dennis Miller discusses the Bank of Mexico (Get it? Get it?) and sexual deviance with...Bill O'Reilly (and just as Irony was getting up from the mat).

I have seen the show's clips and found them quiet funny, but definately has room for improvement. I excited that Fox News is trying to do something different and creating a program aimed at South Park conservatives. The only good place to find conservative comedy right now is on ourcountry.com and it will be great to have this Fox News program on the air too.
