Fox News threatened to sue Fox Television for Simpsons parody
Morans.

Lisa: Principal Skinner, you're just stealing.
Skinner: Welcome to Dick Cheney's America.


No, not that. This:

POINTLESS NEWS CRAWLS UP 37 PERCENT ... DO DEMOCRATS CAUSE CANCER? FIND OUT AT FOXNEWS.COM ... RUPERT MURDOCH: TERRIFIC DANCER ... DOW DOWN 5000 POINTS ... STUDY: 92 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS ARE GAY ... JFK POSTHUMOUSLY JOINS REPUBLICAN PARTY ... OIL SLICKS FOUND TO KEEP SEALS YOUNG, SUPPLE ... DAN QUALYE: AWESOME ... ASHCROFT DECLARES BREAST OF CHICKEN SANDWICH "OBSCENE" ... HILLARY CLINTON EMBARRASSES SELF, NATION ... BIBLE SAYS JESUS FAVORED CAPITAL-GAINS CUT ... STAY TUNED FOR HANNITY AND IDIOT ... ONLY DORKS WATCH CNN ... JIMMY CARTER: OLD, WRINKLY, USELESS ... BRAD PITT + ALBERT EINSTEIN = DICK CHENEY ... RIGHT WING OF CHICKEN [cuts off here]: newscrawl on The Simpsons.

'The Fox News Network did back down on its threat, although it has told the Simpsons creators that in the future, the cartoon series will not be allowed to include a "news crawl" along the bottom of the screen, which might "confuse the viewers."'


Fox news: Wholly without merit.
