FROM “24” TO 48: JACK BAUER MEETS REALITY

In the Glendale City, California jail, “24” star Kiefer Sutherland, faces a complex reality (that alas does not pervade his show), and that is we are all human with failings and propensities and our private, real tortures.
Mr. Sutherland was serving a 48-day sentence for a drunken driving conviction, not his first, but is scheduled for early release. Hopefully, he’ll take responsibility for his weakness in the future, and not put himself, or others, at risk and realize human failings and punishment are not always that simple. We wish him well; his father is really good in “Dirty Sexy Money”.

The Faux News Network Principles


A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
