Welcome to a forgotten corner of the ancient forest.
It seems that The Green Man is not the only one to notice the somewhat blatant bias at Fox News (here). Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, has also picked up on it. Unfortunately for Mr Groening, he has a significantly larger profile and audience than The Green Man and has had a law suit slapped on him by Fox.
A recent episode of The Simpsons, ironically aired on Fox Entertainment, contained a parody of the Fox News ticker that runs along the bottom of the screen. It contained messages such as
"Pointless news crawls up 37 per cent... Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at foxnews.com... Rupert Murdoch: Terrific dancer... Dow down 5,000 points... Study: 92 per cent of Democrats are gay... JFK posthumously joins Republican Party... Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple..."
However a red faced Fox News was later forced to withdraw the suit when it realised it would, in fact, be sueing its sister company Fox Entertainment. Fox Entertainment has responded by banning news ticker like crawls on the bottom on the screen in cartoons because, they claim, viewers might confuse them with the real ones. Yeah right!

Posted by: Jonathan at October 31, 2003 12:59 AMUnder the heavy media jewish censor we are experiencing as well in France , it becoms now easier to print how so few peoples can turn such a powerfull nation as USA into a hudge blind murder monster !
USA is paying for years now, the biggest foreign tax ever paid , to a people who is gratfully driving him as a big task plowman to do the conquest job they don't want to pay for .
When a lobby controls the whole information of a nation , he has no need of being named chief by any poll . He is the actual chief .
In Europ too now , the same guys are owning and ruling ALL the information network , telling or silenting any news they like for the goal they aim at .
Even about the terrorist attack of sept 2001 , any news about the couragous research done by some US citizens and showing that none of what had been told can any more be believed , are censored and withdrawn .
Wherever on the net or by newspapers , any information is dimed or striken out .As if they had greatly to fear about this truth .
We more and more appreciate Matt Groenig's work , the way he uses the cartoon entertainment with an actual five degrees finesse , to explain and teach peoples how they are grown as some kind of cattle to feed & breed under industrial managment by those dangerous media gangs .
His humor wich is firing very well in the corners is the best can opener for routine stuck brains .
For us , in Europ ,we stil can watch and learn about our close futur only by studying what's happening in the USA on actual time . As grim & dull it can be .
And the hudge quality of Mr Groening work is welcom here , as a message against the " primate of futur" , the ones who did'nt hesitate to kill 3000 peoples to lauch theire "frapadingues" racial world overwhelming power project .
Stumble It!
