Fox Fights Fake News with Fake News


The number one cable news network served notice to Comedy Central's Daily Show and the Colbert Report tonight with it's own comedy news parody program "The Half Hour News Hour".

Opening the first show with a segment featuring the most listened to talk radio host on the planet and the most hated female conservative author on the planet as President and VP, the Half Hour News Hour is certain to be a hit among conservatives hungry for comedy that pokes fun at liberals and Democrats, global warming, terrorists, Hollywood and the ACLU.

While some segments seemed a little stiff and forced, most were dead-on like the T-Shirt salesman offering shirts that say "Shiite Happens" (Ahmadinejad) and "No Fat Chicks" (Kim Jung Ill) and the ACLU spots. The 6 degrees to Global Warming segment was also good and has potential for future updates and skits. With a little tweaking, this show could be huge.

I can't wait to see how the left scrambles to discredit and diminish the right-leaning comedy news show while praising and applauding liberal comedy news programs. It wouldn't surprise me to see them try and force Fox news to take it off the air or offer equal "fair and balanced" time for opposing comedic views. (LOL)

Stay tuned, the Half Hour News Hour could be the next SNL... (for conservatives)!

I enjoyed the show. Yes, there is room for improvement, but you are never going to make liberals happy with a show like this. If you are into politically incorrect humor, you should check out ourcountry.com. They are doing similar stuff as the Fox News show.
