Oh, how I love The Simpsons!!!!!

Fact: I’m glad to hear more blacks watch Fox news than any other station on cable thanks to the creative minds behind The Simpsons cartoon show!

I’m glad the left is finally admitting alot of Dem’s watch FOX NEWS.

I knew there was a reason I never watched The Simpsons.

Bold. Cutting edge. So…..brave and daring.

Now, how about a political comment about Al Qaeda? I mean, South Park had the guts to do that. Wait, what? They didn’t? They backed up and ran like little schoolgirls from a spider after receiving a threat and stuck with ridiculing Jesus after that?

Damn.

But surely the Simpsons, writers and producres, who definitlely have to courage to call Fox News viewers racists, have to guts to mock a culture that truly hates us and lives in the mindset of the seventh century.

Don’t they?

This says more about the low life creators of the simpsons than it ever would about Fox news.

Wait. Sam Simon made a joke about Fox News? Really??? I’m Shocked with a capital S!

To the jokers who posted above me. The Simpson is a Fox run program. They are all owned by Murdoch. I told you jokers, he doesn’t care about your right wing ideology, he is in it for the buck.

We’re not balanced, it’s not fair! Funny

No skyfet, your comment just proves that it’s a total LIE that FOX doesn’t allow a descenting opinion. Thanks for admitting it!!

@Seeing 2012 From My Window
No Mitchell, as usual changing the topic again, but am not going to fall for your dumb tactic. Murdoch doesn’t care about ya, he cares about his buck. His media outlet are conservative in one market/country and liberal/left in other market/country. You are a tool, sad you have to find out this way. Anyway go and play and leave me alone, it’s tiresome debating with ya, you just circle yourself in the mud.

@just4
i’m sure you were just being facetious about fox having a black audience.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/26/fox-news-audience-just-13_n_659800.html

By the way not only are the jokers above me ignorant about this, equal in his unawareness is the writer/poster of this story.
For example he states that “There is no shortage of examples in which The Simpsons have taken swipes at News Corp., Fox Broadcasting and Fox News.”

You are wrong Colby, they are one in the same i.e. owned by Murdoch. Common, this is basic stuff. Rupert Murdoch = News Corps.

Anyway now you know, maybe you’d write a story about this Murdoch issue soon. How he can be a right wing in one market/country and a leftist in another market/country, I get it the phonies don’t.

in case you don’t want to go to hufpo…that is 1.38% of their audience.

Ah The Simpsons. I see they’re getting back to that “season 36 cleverness” that has escaped them for the past 45 seasons. Some say they’ve lost their touch.

I guess the head honchos at Fox have thicker skins than the cry babies over at CNN. I wonder how Rick Sanchez liked the show.

Actually, they continue to mock Al Qaida and Moslems on South Park. You might try actually watching it instead of just repeating what you hear.

What is true is that Comedy Central is a batch of cowards.

Have you seen how your mates messed this one up, they have no clue Simpsons run on Fox Network which is owned by Your Uncle Rupert. lol, classic ignorant crap.

One would have to put Mediaite near the top of the list as to one of the reasons for the recent EPIC FAIL of the Democratic Party. Most of the writers here are simply twits headed up by Dan Abrams, one of the most annoying TV pundits around. One can just image how excited Colby got when he saw this episode of the Simpsons.

Such bravery, making fun of Fox News. What’s next? Making fun of Palin?

Actually I haven’t , sorry to disappoint. Although some books have said that many, many muslim men have “secreted feelings” for other men , which often manifests itself in overt displays homophobia and hostility, this could explain why on every TSA thread you feel the need to declare that no one will touch your junk. Food for thought .
How’s that poster of Ahmadinejad ? I would think it quite soiled by now .

hey writer
what could palin do that someone would actually make fun of her?

If the slogan on the helicopter was MSCBC: In The Tank For All Democrats” Ed Schultz would be demanding the Simpsons be taken off the air.

Chili, Fox and Palin mockery doesn’t bring death threats. If the Simpsons really wanted to show some balls, they’d also make fun of Muhammad, like South Park did.

@timzank
You’ve always amaze me as someone who has no absolute clue about what the issue about. Always jumping on the left vs right bandwagon. Who cares? I don’t. You are just a marketing tool for Murdoch. Like I said above he owns the station that sirs the Simpsons and also Fox news, they are all under Newscorp. Wake up! don’t be a dummy.

Fox gets the right’s money from Fox News, and Fox gets the left’s money from their comedy shows that criticize it.

Fox makes money off of people’s hatred of each other.

Am not paying for his crap. Are you kidding me pay to read junk from ‘Newyork post’ and ‘the sun’. He’s already started bit by bit with ‘The Times’, good on him, that means less people would have to read his junk. By the way the times was a respected News Paper, before Murdoch put lay his hands on it, and he also added the page 3 to the sun, tell that to the phony conservatives. Your uncle Murdoch introduced page 3 to the Sun newspaper, now go and do some research, Jokers.

South Park is better than all the rest. They’re not afraid to mock everyone, not just the politically correct targets.

Jokes like these on the Simpsons wouldn’t be so funny if there wasn’t an element of truth to them. Fox News appeals to the worst instincts in people, and its most loyal viewers should be subjected to scorn and ridicule.

Chris Thomas said:

I like how you’re trying to sound smart when you forgot why you didn’t like a TV show (which is probably a lie anyway, lol).

In a way The Simpsons is correct. Since before the election of Barack Obama, more people have been branded racist than not. Also since the election of Barack Obama, more people don’t give a rat’s ass about the word ‘racist’ anymore.

The Simpsons were right to use the word ‘racist’ in a joke. The far left has beaten the word to death so much, it has become a joke.

I personally think that because the people that are accused of being racist is because they object to EVERYTHING he does. That is just NOT possible. We Dems might have bashed Bush but most gave him credit when he was right about some issues. These days people don’t even respect The Office of the President regardless of who is in there. That does come across as being racist even if it is meant that way. Perception means a lot in this day and age. How many times have you ever heard one of these righties show any respect for the president just because he is the president. NEVER on here.

The_Reasonable_Lib said:

Nobody has concrete proof of that and nobody has concrete proof the other way either. Racism doesn’t know a political ideology. That’s why it is stupid to make it a political argument calling one side more racist than the other. Racism is a real problem and calling each other racism lessens its impact on the world. Kind of like whenever you call someone a Nazi makes that word mean less.

Quick lesson about the Simpsons. When the Simpsons came on board, they were the only TV series at that time (and many believe this is thanks to the power of James L. Brooks) that allowed zero television executive influence. They weren’t allowed to write notes to change the show or make any suggestions. In other words, it’s the show on FOX that exists outside of FOX. Thus, Murdoch has zero say over the jokes that get put in there. Of course, with that being said, Murdoch could easily pull the plug on them for what they’ve written about FOX News, but he won’t. It makes too much money. I used to be in the school of thought that with the Simpsons it’s all about FOX making fun of FOX, but it really isn’t. So, Murdoch makes no decision on the jokes that is put into the show.

I think there is two very good points you make here. When they criticize everything Obama, practically that he even just breaths air. Objecting any and everything he does. And there is no respect for the Office of the Presidency and the most difficult job it must be. No credit where credit is due.

Also when the dems display a bit of dissatisfaction with him, the repubs want to call it turning on their own. Notice on the Bush thread, how many were willing to throw him under the bus.

You don’t read much do you? I have supported Obama on his Iraq and Afghan policy. I have defended him by attacking the birthers. I think he has been a good father.

I opposed Bush on his immigration policy and signing too many spending bills. He should never have worked with Ted Kennedy on anything.

Most conservatives did the same as I did. YOU folks just don’t watch the real news or you would have known.
That is why you have NO credibility on anything you post.

FOX did bring down its heavy hand on the creators of the Simpsons by barring butt shots of Homer and Bart on all new episodes. But in general, FOX is just that, a fox. On the one hand it is out there with its right wing “news” coverage, where O’Reilly and Hannity spend their time condemning the ACLU, and everybody has FOX pegged as right wing, but on the other hand they have, since the beginning, provided some of the most outrageously liberal takes on family life imaginable.

I bet you can identify every one of them right? They probably all have one thing in common, they disagree with you.

“And there is no respect for the Office of the Presidency and the most difficult job it must be. No credit where credit is due.”

boo-fxxking hoo. where were you when the movie “The Assassination of George W. Bush” came out? were you all worried that the president wasn’t getting respect then? I would bet not.

no, it’s only for Obama that respect must be showed. for Bush–well, you can say the most disgusting things you want and nobody will complain.

and to Black Widow, way above: yes, I do watch MSNBC, as long as my stomach can take it without throwing up. sometimes I turn the channels back and forth to see what each is reporting on. know what I found? while Fox is reportingon NEWS, MSNBC is reporting on Fox! while Fox talks about the election, the president’s trip to Asia, the economy, etc, MSNBC is talking about O’Reilly, Beck, and Rush, and how everybody who disagrees with this swell president obviously hates him because he is black.

so let me ask you BW: do you seriously think all those white people who voted for Obama suddenly woke up a few month ago and said “oh my GOD! this guy is black!” uh, no. remember, he once had a 70% favorability rating.

no, people don’t dislike him because he’s black. people dislike him because he is incompetent, and in WAAAAY over his head. and it’s pretty apparent to everyone except the amen corner, for whom Obama will NEVER do anything wrong.

A big problem I have, and I know a lot won’t agree, is that over the past year or so, “Comedy” shows have basically gone from attacking the candidates they don’t agree with, to attacking the SEGMENT OF THE VOTING PUBLIC that they do not agree with, assigning to every last one of them every possible disgusting extreme that they can, even if it makes absolutely no sense at all.

“You didn’t vote for Obama, so you want to kill blacks, mexicans, and gays!”

Come on, people. YOU KNOW BETTER than to believe that crap. Try to remember that people are individuals, not a collective who all think, look, and act the same. Even if they didn’t vote for “your” candidate.

SlurpeeSummit said:

I believe there are degrees of racism. Most racism comes from conditioning. Your grandparents were, so your parents were to a lessor extent, and you are to an even a lessor extent. And your kids will be less compared to you. And even people that genuinely don’t think they have a racist bone in their body, still does to some extent. Generation after generation gets less and less for the most part unless some family is in the KKK or some other group. That’s why race relations are getting better over time, but still have a long way to go.

i don’t think any less of you even though you voted for bush, but his reaction to 9/11 was supported by a healthy majority of this country, if not the entire world (including, if i’m not mistaken, iran’s support in condemning the attacks). but then he pissed away all that good will by lying us to war with iraq.

hey Maxine: I’m really impressed with your overuse of the word “fuck”! that shows me that you are an intelligent and thoughtful person. and scary. woooooo….

seriously, I don’t know about you, and I don’t know if you voted for W. what I do know is that there are a whole lot of people running around this country who suddenly think that you MUST RESPECT THE PRESIDENT, whereas when Bush was in office, they didn’t think that.

judging by your other comments, you seemed to be one of those people. sorry if I mis-read you.

Chili pepper: would there be any way that I can get through to you that Fox has both OPINION and NEWS programming? and that most people can tell them apart? (maybe not Obama or Axelrod, but most people.) that you have no place to complain about Glenn Beck unless you’re also complaining about Keith Olbermann? that Bret Baier’s 6pm show is straight news and the best news program on TV IMHO? oh–but no? you don’t know Bret Baier? that’s because you don’t WANT to give Fox the benefit of the doubt. you take their most off-the-wall opnion people and pretend that that’s all the channel ever shows. you’re wrong, it isn’t.

as far as respect for Obama, I have respect for the office of the president. I have no respect for the current holder of that office, and I can’t wait until 2012, when he leaves.

I absolutely agree, the invasion of Iraq was one of the biggest problems I had with him and the fact that he chose to ignore much of the contradicting information he was given about Iraq, before he moved the troops in there. 10 years later and no Bin Laden yet.

michigan ruth i understand how fox claims to separate their opinion shows from their straight news shows, but that is the genius of how fox operates. they build a very narrative that begins in their opinion shows; hannity, beck, and especially orielly and it flows subtly throughout their news show. i watch fox, as i watch all the other shows so i can get a full understanding of the news.
as far as brett bair goes, he showed how much respect he had for a president when he continued to interrupt obama in his interview.

In early September, 2008, the AP did a story that was apparently intended to prove a significant racist objection to the candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama for President. They and some other outfit had combined to run a poll that, it seemed to me, was geared to provide a reliable result. In the report, Ron Fournier and Trevor Tompson reported that one-third of Southern Democrats would not vote for the President because he was black. (Actually, he is of mixed race, but he looks black, sort of.)

They had to go into the poll’s internals to discover that. I.e., the poll itself and answers to it were easily found on the Internet, but one could find nothing in the poll’s published questions and analyses providing that information. Here is their lead paragraph:

“Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them ‘lazy,’ ‘violent,’ responsible for their own troubles.”

Actually, they did not volunteer the quoted words. Poll question: “How well does each of these words describe most blacks?” Respondents were asked to describe their judgments on the words, ranging from saying the words fit blacks “extremely well” to “not at all,” with a “refused/not answered” choice included.

Words included, “determined to succeed,” “intelligent at school,” and “dependable,” of nine positives. Five characterizations were negative, “violent,” “boastful,” “complaining,” “lazy,” and “irresponsible.” None of those is a term that voters in 2008 would have applied to Mr. Obama. Which people, even among his opponents, would have said that “determined to succeed, or “hard-working” did not describe him?

The poll did ask questions that revealed whether respondents were Republicans. You betcha that if Republicans were found to be more “racist” by claiming that the negatives described blacks, the AP writers would have revealed that. (The AP functioned as a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party during the campaign and since.) Instead, they had to scrape for a lead, as they tried to prove that the President had a substantial handicap because of his skin color.

The AP staffers ignored the poll’s most significant question and answer. “Does the fact that if elected, Barack Obama would be the first black president of the United States make you more likely to vote for him, less likely to vote for him, or does it not affect your vote either way?” Answers: “More likely to vote for him,” 9%; “Less likely to vote for him,” 9%, and “Not affect your vote either way,” 82%. If you have ever spent time in the United States outside concentrations of liberal, progressive, or leftist hate and ignorance, you likely would agree that that fairly well represented American attitudes. If racism, while it surely exists, were truly dangerous, how did Doug Wilder get elected Governor of Virginia, or Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley get elected governors of southern states?

The foul and despicable Simpsons calumny angered me, but it seemed that, rather than venting, it was better to provide some evidence arguing against their falsehood. I watch Fox News and do not consider myself a racist, nor would anyone who knows me. Neither are other people I know who watch the only mass television news medium that does not rattle out the left’s propaganda line. (Adding expression of non-leftist opinion, one can include CNN and the C-SPAN channels.)

Far too many on the left, like the people at Simpsons, are everything they think their Other, people like me, are: bigoted, ignorant, hateful, hatemongering, fanatic, and a string of other negatives. Some lage large groups begin with some idealism and degenerate over time into something not ideal at all, which is what has happened to the left, and why leftists like Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi are unsuited to governance. Only if most voters realize how terrible are the news media and the schools and decisively defeat Democrats in 2012, more so than happened in 2010, can the left be led back to caring about others’ welfare and really meaning that.

Unusually long for this medium, that, but one has to try to change mistaken and damaging perceptions.

Another first I actually LOL at that. The trial part!

And some racists don’t even realize they are.

Like you? You see, we all know you’re a racist, in the same way you know all “those people” are racists. You can deny it all you want, but its only because you don’t realize you’re a racist.

Wonder if the Simpsons ever listened to Rev. Wright? Oh, yeah. That doesn’t count.

Likewise you could say “Islam–not a terrorist religion but No. 1 with terrorists.” And in both cases ignore the number of followers who are not racists

Good for the Simpson’s, hope they continue to market FOX. But if they think because they don’t pander to the affirmative action group, you’re right and hope they never let let up. Let Hollywood, shelter, feed, school, treat their ills, and keep them in yard jobs.

Now, how about a political comment about Al Qaeda? I mean, South Park had the guts to do that. Wait, what? They didn’t? They backed up and ran like little schoolgirls from a spider after receiving a threat and stuck with ridiculing Jesus after that?

Damn.

But surely the Simpsons, writers and producres, who definitlely have to courage to call Fox News viewers
racists, have to guts to mock a culture that truly hates us and lives in the mindset of the seventh century.

Don’t they?

writer said:
Chili, Fox and Palin mockery doesn’t bring death threats. If the Simpsons really wanted to show some balls, they’d also make fun of Muhammad, like South Park did.

There was a Simpsons episode earlier this year in which, during the opening sequence when Bart is writing on the blackboard, he wrote something like, “South Park, we’d stand with you if we weren’t afraid.”

Well, it’s obviously only true for white racists, so the mindset seems to be that only whites can be racists, or possibly Asians since they’re also successful and therefore must also be penalized by affirmative action.

I mean, unless you think that New Black Panthers guy who keeps standing in front of polling places yelling about cracker babies and waving a truncheon is a big Glenn Beck fan.

michigan ruth i understand how fox claims to separate their opinion shows from their straight news shows, but that is the genius of how fox operates. they build a very narrative (sic) that begins in their opinion shows; hannity, beck, and especially orielly and it flows subtly throughout their news show. i watch fox, as i watch all the other shows so i can get a full understanding of the news.

Here’s the deal: People who are employed as news reporters are overwhelmingly Democrat voters. This has never been a secret within the industry or in journalism school, but it was never acknowledged publicly because the people who ran newspapers, weekly magazines, and TV & radio networks knew damn well that the public would demand more balance if it was confirmed what it had been consuming was indeed slanted.

That’s why the mainstream media as we knew it was rocked on the morning of February 13, 1996, the epicenter being the Wall Street Journal (pre-Murdoch). CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg wrote an op-ed confirming what many of us already had perceived: There was a liberal bias in news reporting, and it was getting in the way of fundamental fairness. The kicker: Goldberg was not a conservative nor a Republican, but because he was balanced in his reporting (something I had noticed in years previous watching his CBS work), he was perceived as such and distrusted by key figures at CBS News (primarily Dan Rather, whose pro-Dem bias was well-known but never admitted).

Everyone in the news business understood what Roger Ailes — whose first TV venture was Rush Limbaugh’s daily syndicated show — was going for with Fox News Channel; giving a fresh perspective to TV news that had contained pretty much the same leftist storyline, but with different letters on the screen. Few news stars jumped to FNC at first; it was someplace else for unemployed MSMers to flee, such as Paula Zahn & Catherine Crier, both formerly of CBS. But then established cable stars fled for the freedom of FNC, like Greta Van Susteren & Geraldo Rivera, neither of whom are Republicans.

as far as brett bair goes, he showed how much respect he had for a president when he continued to interrupt obama in his interview.

“Having respect for the President” does not mean allowing him to run out the clock on an interview by filibustering while neither answering questions nor saying anything of substance, which was the modus operandi that Obama practiced with other anchors all through his first year. To his credit, Baier was not deterred by undue, unprofessional affection in Obama’s rare Fox interview, unlike his news colleagues who had been openly enamored of BHO from early in his candidacy.

usually chris wallace is a fair minded person, but he pretty much had is nose up rick perry’s butt in yesterday’s show.

Didn’t see it. Did Chris say anything about a thrill going up his leg? Are you implying Wallace wants Perry to be the next POTUS? Sorry, Perry said he’s not running in 2012.

in my opinion, shep is the best guy they have over there.

Wow, how predictable — the most obviously left-of-center figure at Fox News is the one you like the best. The New York Times agrees.

The bottom line: Fox has the trademark “Fair and Balanced.” Is it really? IMHO, “Fair,” yes; “Balanced,” no. It leans to the right, but guess what? ABC, CBS, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, NBC, and PBS all lean leftward. So while Fox News is not “Balanced,” it is “balance.” Think about it. It is my opinion that if you refuse to watch Fox, your news consumption is UN-balanced.

I love how a guy obsessed with spread gossip (his words, not mine) about Glenn Beck on his own dime (says he) is suggesting that there’s something mentally wrong with Beck. Heh.

(Sorry about not closing my tag. I’m used to previews.)

That was a class less scud, but predictable from Hollywood. ..Out of touch out of mind. ..

You brainwashed treat Fox like a true family member. Wow, Pravda didn’t work this well. Do you watch Faux in your bible study group of hate and fear?

I’m glad the left is finally admitting alot of Dem’s watch FOX NEWS.

Not really. Predictable brainwashing for the little minds. Can tell you which anchor says what without having to watch it at all. Hannity’s AmeriKKKa, Glennbeckistans’ Conspiracy Theories, Bill O’Really’s trying to appear as though he’s “fair and balanced” when he’s not, Rush Limpbaughs – just plain hate and fear mongering, Ann Coultre – pseudo intellectual religulous reasoning for hating education and liberals, etc., etc.,

Educated American understands FOX is propaganda – but will the Reich Wing Sheep ever wake from the lies? Has the Jesus Camp indoctrination given us the lost generation that will destroy America? It appears so. When truth stares you in the face and you deny it…this country has a problem; It’s up to those of us whom know and understand right from wrong to make sure President Palin doesn’t Nuke America.

Alright – screw the typos.

Aren’t the producers and writers of The Simpsons a bunch of white folks? Perhaps you shouldn’t throw racists taunts when racial diversity is, well, not your strength. Simpsons are funny, but it’s definitely lacks the racial diversity (except in the behind-the-scenes crew that we should expect in 2010.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. I hope I am, but whenever I see comedy writing teams and producers, I see older white guys.

When its a slam to a lib. its funny, when its a tea, its true!

The Simpsons?!? I thought OJ was in jail. How did he get a cartoon show.

It’s does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Fox News plays to bigots and racists. That is a large percentage of their audience. The hosts openly stoke this base. Glen Beck does it openly without any shame.

You truly are truly a brain-dead dittohead, Gordo. FOX’s bias is so blatant and obvious it’s laughable. Megyn Kelly is one of the worse offenders, but Martha MacCallum get’s honorable mention with the clear deception noted below.
It’s amazing how much dis-information comes out of that network. No wonder a majority of FOX viewers think Saddam was responsible for 9/11 and also believe that TARP was passed under Obama (it was actually Dubya). I’ll never forget months after the election when they Brietbarted Biden (they apologized for the “mistake” the next day). The panel wasn’t told that the quote was from months ago and that Joe was actually quoting McCain! They ripped him good. FOX actually apologized for misrepresenting what they claim Biden said months after the election. March 2009, Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “Take a look at what was said in recent interviews this weekend.” Fox then aired a clip of Biden stating: “The fundamentals of the economy are strong.” The panel FOX assembled wasn’t told that Biden was quoting McCain and that it wasn’t recent. There are hundreds of similar examples of FOX’s deception. Let me know if you’d like an emailed list.

There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some passat cc  validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article, thanks and we want more! 

Only the right isn’t open to everything.
