The Simpsons Takes Another Swipe At Fox News: ‘Unsuitable For Viewers Under 75′

» 68 comments

Writers and producers of America’s favorite cartoon family The Simpsons appear to delight in taking shots at their corporate overlords, or more to their point, their corporate cousins Fox News. Just last week they mocked the cable news channel with a fictional FNC slogan emblazoned on a helicopter that read “Not Racist But #1 With Racists.” Last night the took another shot at the cable news outlet, this time making fun of the alleged elderly set that tunes in to Fox News.

For the record, The Simpsons is broadcast on Fox Broadcasting, with is owned by News Corp, which also owns Fox News. The producers and writers behind the the comedy show have creative license to mock their corporate family, of which they appear to take full advantage. Just last week, Bill O’Reilly fired back at Simpsons producers for the racist bit, calling them “pinheads,” a slang term that some believe comes from the late 1930s.

    This is crazy. Fox beats every other cable news station in the demographic in every single time slot every single day. Red Eye, which is on Fox at 3am, gets more viewers in the demographic then CNN does in primetime.

    In order for humor to work, it needs a thread of thruth. This doesn’t have it. This is just indicative of the Left’s disconnect wih reality. The same was true with The Simpson’s last shot at Fox News. Rather than admitting that the Obama administration is one of the most liberal and least competent in American history, they claim Fox News viewers are racists. That’s why they just lost more House seats than any election since the 1930s.

    The more the phonies cry about One branch of a Murdoch’s company attacks another branch of Murdoch’s company shows how stupid and sheeple they really are. They can’t see that they are just a tool for Murdoch to make more money. He makes money on the right and on the left, does not really care about your T/P behind. Capiche?

    That is uncharacteristically simplistic of you. Not the first time, but not the norm. The Democrats lost more House Seats because they call viewers of FOX “News” racist? That’s absurd.

    Hi King, how do you do?
    By the way gordon included you with me and some others in his enemies list. I didn’t know they’ve lumped us to be one in the same. I think paranoia is the other of the day for them nowadays.
    I just can’t believe how dumb down America has become, that’s why I agree with the guy with Bob Shilfer earlier who described people as lazy, ignorant etc. Otherwise how can you explain how people can see what Murdoch is blatantly doing and still think he is on their side.

    He is giving Berlusconi headache in Italy day in day out, yet Berlusconi is everything the right winger would wish for(except his sexual pervasion) he cuts taxes spending yet Murdoch wouldn’t let him breathe. Murdoch is causing problem for him because own the biggest media outlet in Italy and Murdoch doesn’t like being number 2. So he is with the left there fighting against a right winger.
    Same action he’s done in Uk and his Native Australia, switching part’s whenever it suits him.

    These two foreigners do not have America’s best interest at hand but rather America’s profits.

    The Simpsons makes more money in one episode than FOX Cable News does in a week.

  • greg454

    I haven’t watched The Simpsons in years, I’d rather watch South Park, it’s a far superior show that mocks everybody and everything.

    “These two foreigners do not have America’s best interest at hand but rather America’s profits.”

    —Hey sweetheart, this is America, PROFIT is the reason for our existence. You think people went on the Mayflower to be poor? People came here to PROFIT, and unlike illegal aliens, I’ve never seen Murdoch collecting any welfare, do you?

    So let me explain capitalism to you, there is supply, and there is demand, so what does the marketplace demand when it comes to news? Well, they want fairness, balance, ideological diversity, political incorrectness and entertainment? Who’s the only one that delivers that? Fox News. Thus, Fox News is #1.

    Now, seeing that you don’t like foreigners, would you care to oppose the DREAM ACT? Or does your liberal logical prevent you from opposing poor foreigners who broke the law to get to this country?

    That’s cute, Colbs. Of course, O’Reilly (and the rest of FNC) destroy the competition when it comes to younger viewers/demo viewers. Basically, more people of all ages watch FNC than watch any of your favorite networks. But, facts & liberals get along like Tom & Jerry.

    This is the great thing about freedom. If I don’t want to watch FNC, I just turn the channel. If I choose to boycott their advertisers, I don’t buy their products. Noe one forces any one to watch these various channels. So what are you people really arguing over? If you don’t like MSNBC, CNN or Fox then don’t watch them. There is no point in arguing like a bunch of school girls over it.

    Mean while, 6 US troops die fighting in Afghanistan, we just paid China $360 billion in unterest payments for out debt, and more proof that these politicians are screwed up is coming out via Wikileaks. But hey, continue to whine or cheer some news channel.

    BFD, all this would matter to me if I cared what you thought. And with your track record of making personal attacks, I don’t think you have any room to talk. There have been many threads where I discuss the topic, as anyone who checks the past threads can see. As for the King’s remark of calling McCain ‘gramps’, I found that ironic, since the King has said many times that he was in Navy JAG during Vietnam, which means he’d be around the same age.

    —Ah, but you see, progressives HATE freedom. They know what’s good for you, they want to outlaw Fox so you’ll be forced to watch CNN, MSNBC or simply stop paying attention while they “fix” the country to their liking. Look at Bloomberg in New York, the fuhrer, er, mayor banned trans fats and smoking in public parks. See? He has to do that because he thinks you’re too stupid to make your own choices, so he’s going to do the thinking for you so you can shut up and pay taxes. Well, America is waking up, we’re not going to shut up, we’re not going to let the elites that ruined the country cause further damage. We’re gonna stand in the way of all your plans, and by 2012 their messiah will be back in Chicago where he belongs (actually, he belongs in Kenya, Saudi Arabia or some fucked up country, but I’m being nice here).

    Hats off to Matt Groening and the talented people who have created The Simpsons. I remember when Matt Groening had a brilliant but humble cartoon strip in the Village Voice. Now he’s been enormously successful and has the power to lay into the hypocrisy and mendacity of the Fox empire. He’s one of their top money producers and can get away with tweaking Murdoch. It will be interesting to see how far this will go. It’s great that Murdoch has areas where he is quite vulnerable. Rightwingers always accuse the Hollywood and whatever passes for America’s intelligentsia of being unpatriotic which, of course, is a bad joke. The reality is that people who have wider life experience and are well-read have a better grasp on what’s happening then people who get all their information from Fox and the Republican Party.

  • writer

    The Simpsons were saying older people watch Fox. Wouldn’t older viewers have more life experience than younger ones?

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    Why are the writers on The Simpsons so critical of FoxPAC? Because FoxPAC lacks journalistic ethics and standards for one.

    EX: Just today, Fox & Friends reported that a school in central Florida had banned the “traditional Christmas colors” red and green from classrooms. In a statement to Media Matters, the school’s district spokesperson, Regina Klares, has denied this, stating, “There is not a ban on the colors red and green at Heathrow Elementary.”

    Fox runs with story, claims teachers are “not going to let red and green in the classroom”

    WESH.com reports an anonymous parent’s claim that red and green are banned at Heathrow Elementary. On November 24, WESH.com in Orlando reported that one parent of a student at Heathrow Elementary claimed the students can’t use Christmas colors:

    One parent said classrooms can’t show Santa Claus or use traditional Christmas colors.

    “You can’t use red and green,” a parent said. “It’s ridiculous.” [WESH.com, 11/24/10]

    Fox & Friends ran with the story, claiming teachers are “not going to let red and green in the classroom.” Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson ran with the story on November 29, stating that teachers are “not going to let red and green in the classroom.” Carlson gave no indication that they attempted to contact the school to verify the story.

    Fox Nation: “School Bans Christmas Colors.” On November 29, Fox Nation linked to the story under the headline, “School Bans Christmas Colors.” Fox Nation linked to Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes’ blog, in which Starnes discussed the original WESH report. Starnes asked readers: “Has your school district declared a war on Christmas?

    What are the facts?

    School district spokesperson: “There is not a ban on the colors red and green at Heathrow Elementary. In an interview with Media Matters, Seminole Country School District spokesperson Regina Klares stated: “There is no ban on the colors red and green at Heathrow Elementary.”

    Fox News: for viewers who don’t care what the facts are, just so long as someone tells them what they want to hear.

    I don’t see much difference. What people need to do is listen to a story and do their own research on it. With the internet, it doesn’t take long to find out the facts, half truths and lies the media tells. For years they took it for granted that we would believe everything we watched. Now, with blogs and citizen journalist, the big media and their anchors are getting questioned.

  • BobHahn

    It seems like only 3 days ago that The Smart People(tm) were pointing and giggling at the dumb yahoos who seriously agreed with some anti-Obama spears thrown by The Onion. Now the same Smart People(tm) are seriously agreeing with some anti-Fox spears thrown by The Simpsons. From this we may conclude that The Smart People(tm) aren’t really any smarter than the dumb yahoos.

They sure are, and like Fox News, they hire Americans and unlike GM, they don’t need a fucking government bailout because they don’t put up with the progressive unions that bled all their cash.

    Of course, you could watch NBC and MSNBC which are owned by GE which have given money to the Obama administration in order to get lucrative green contracts. So let’s see, between “Americans” who hate their own country and “Australians” who love our country, I’d rather have those “foreigners” own us, because at least Murdoch wants to keep us free while the others want to make us socialist progressive slaves.
