Wait a second. Which hand is feeding whom? The Simpsons put FOX on the map with their outrageous liberal humor, not the other way around.

Billo! pick it up with you Boss. You think you are on top of the world by working for him, no you are not. You and the other right wingers are marketing tools for Murdoch to make money in the media atmosphere that’s biased to the left.

Otherwise tell me how your Boss Murdoch is a right wing with Fox News, and a liberal on Fox Network. Billo can cry as many times as he wants regarding the Simpsons and Family Guy, in the end they are all Murdochs thumb.

” O’Reilly , the Irish beat cop of Fox News … ” . Excellent .

“Sure, but its the sort of daring and surprise that makes The Simpsons a successful business that makes lots of money for it parent company.”

Daring and surprise? Seriously? That is wholly predictable tripe. It is as daring and surprising as taking a shot at Sarah Palin. It is telling the entertainment establishment exactly what it wants to hear. Daring and surprise would be taking a shot at Obama or some other liberal icon.

The supposed anti-establishment types are the establishment.

I suppose you are not much of a Simpson’s fan, finch, but many times it has lampooned its own and other networks. Do you recall that during the first few years of FOX, before FOX News, that it was hammered by the right for its anti-family programming, including the Simpsons and the even more outrageous Married With Chilcren? And the Family Guy is more over the top than any program – ever. Ruppert ultimately needs to make money, and he does that from the left and the right.

Like rebellious teenagers harassing their parents, liberals live to bite the hand that feeds them. Problem: what happens when the hand that feeds them stops? I think it’s time we find out.

I see, BillO – you don’t bite the hand that feeds you. That would require courage, Bill – and it’s obvious from your own statements you won’t buck the Fox Not News Channel because they might stop feeding you. You are such a coward Billo!!

The dynamic of change requires new ideas (which are usually castigated by the status quo as being rebellious, liberal, radical, etc.). Thus, when 10 year olds were working long hours in 1920s sweat shops, with massive pollution, “liberals” objected to that and demanded better working conditions, pollution controlls, anti-trust laws, etc. Conservative capitalists claimed that regulating the “free market” would create a communist state. Of course they continue to use that argument today. There is nothing wrong with challenging new ideas, testing them, etc., but in the end, “progress” requires some accomodation between liberal ideas and conservative notions of little or no change.

So the Simpsons are still on huh. I stopped watching them when South Park came out.

I am sure Bill O’ The Bigot’s lynch mob watches Fox News, I wonder, will they ever bring Michelle Obama to their party?

FOX NEWS: NUMBER 1 IN RATINGS, NUMBER 1 IN THE CONSERVATIVE WORLD, AND NUMBER 1 IN BIGOTRY.

Where is John Stossel? With Rand Paul and the Tea Party hoping to repeal the Civil Rights Act. If they repeal one component they will become happy and will repeal the entire law.

Humor only works when a strong element of truth is involved, see The Daily Show or Stephen Colbert’s hilarious takedown at the Washington Correspondents Dinner.

That’s one reality conservatives haven’t figured out how to turn on it’s head – yet.

Rupert only cares about one thing; Rupert’s money.

After over 20 years, The Simpsons writers can’t really be blamed for an occasional attack of laziness — and let’s be blunt, because recycling that tripe was just laziness.

I particularly like how this whole thing is being portrayed as somehow edgy, as if the folks at The Simpsons were really in danger of retaliation. It reminds me of the way Colbert was praised for “speaking truth to power” when he mocked Bush at that dinner — because, of course, Colbert really was in danger of having jackbooted thugs drag him away.

And O’Reilly is a pinhead for indulging The Simpsons crew by even mentioning it.

Bill Adkins said:

Yeah, O’Reilly is just hanging on by a thread over at Fox News. Brilliant.

On the money!

I think it’s a mistake for O’Reilly to have gone on air to defend the network over the joke on The Simpson’s.

If South Park had made a similar cheap shot about MSNBC and America haters, FOX fans would be telling critics to lighten up.

You should have let it go, Bill.

Settle for being the number one cable news channel in the country.

Settle for being the number two channel in all of cable.

For several years I have said that “The Simpsons” is part of the problem in this country. This just confirms what I have known. The show has overstayed any welcome it’s ever had.

The first 8 seasons of The Simpsons is some of my favorite television of all time. The quality of recent episodes is really not even close. South Park is running at full speed and is the better show currently.

*are*

I’m surprised by the phonies above complaining about the Simpsons. Like I said you are just another market tool for Murdoch to make his buck. How come none of you are addressing the fact that both networks are owned by the same owner. The same owner making money off both sides. Ideology means nothing to him, as long as it pays. So keep dreaming and wishing for the 50′s return.

By the way to the phonies, taxes in the 50′s was 90%+. The millionaires want more taxes, but the phonies from the GOP don’t just like taxes, but like to collect co-operate welfare.

Mediaite should change its name to “Foxite”, because they don’t seem to be at all interested in the bullshit coming from their left wing lap dog networks.

Not so. Mediaite also covers KO and friends, and all the rest. But nobody gets attention like FOX News. FOX is a Ruppert Murdoch style New York Post headline. The more outrageous the better.

Was there a time when you sat down and enjoyed the Simpsons? I mean, the Christian right was complaining about the Simpsons from the beginning. In fact, FOX was considered quite rude for most of their early shows. And they still show the same kind of shows. And the Simpsons has regularly joked about FOX’s reputation for being anti-family. Even the program, “The Family Guy”, perhaps the most outrageous of all, chose the show’s name just to lampoon the Christian right.

to me it’s just a show about stupid people doing stupid things and there is no point to it. i don’t find it funny or as a social commentary. i can’t believe it’s still on after all these years.

Fact: All Sarah Palin does on a daily bases answer questions on how fundamentally challenged the liberal socialist mindset is and just like all of your post here on Mediaite that you have and never will have any merit of intelligence of thought behind your post because it’s just not possible. Forrest Gump you’re really not alone!

YOU MORONS!

The Simpson opening was clearly a knock at the rest of the mainstream media, and THEIR dysfunctional perspective and obsession with FOX News!

Watch the rest of the segment and it should become apparent to even the most rationally-challenged amongst you!

This is why you can’t reason with liberals! – You confront them…and DEFEAT THEM!

Stating the obvious – even to those oblivious to it (i.e., the FNC viewer) is the irony and humor. But Irony is banned from propaganda as it serves no purpose to the lie.

This is the problem with the “Idiocracy” that is the Republican Party. They think there is two sides to every “fact and truth”. As if one plus one can be chicken if you look at it right.

You’re a complete tool and thanks for celebrating your stupidity, but in the real world – it’s a direct jab at Fox (or why else would you’re grand-poobah try and discredit it?)….lol…there are jabs at others in the episode, but the part that slams Fox is at once true and funny. Hence, the snark from Bill O.

We know. Conservatives haven’t read anything since the world was flat. No need to enlighten us on the party’s lack of vision…we’re living the dark ages each time a Republican opens their ignorant mouth.

You know they only highlight Fox’s hypocrisy and lies – right? It’s to help people like you that don’t read and can’t see the truth – when it stares you in the face. Obviously, you’re lost to the brainwashed dogma of the Reich Wing, but maybe someone you know can save you from the mindless minions of the sheep of the Fourth Reich.

FOX News is a kind of ruse. Its Colbert on a network level. Even the actors, commentators, and political figures do not know they are playing a part. And Ruppert? Just a character. He holds many strings, but up above, holding even Ruppert’s strings? Yep. Reverend Sun Myung Moon. And what is the point of the ruse? The radical transformation of America by the destruction of the Republican party.

well, you are one wacked out nut james

valkyrie, what?

Bill, they Simpson presentation was not news, it was reality. It brought move viewers then the Jerry Springer show. People loved it. Grin and bear it. By complaining you are only giving credence to the content you are hate revealed.

There is more truth in The Simpson than in FNC .
It is FNC that is the caricature of what news reporting represents.
