FAUX FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Harry Truman and George Bush are similar in their low approval ratings but …interestingly they took very different paths to get there. Mr. Truman was realistic and raised taxes in time of war, because wars really cost and he told the American people so. Thus, he was resented for implementing an unpopular decision, but doing it very competently. Mr. Bush fell into disfavor for pursuing policies that were opposite to Mr. Truman’s on both counts.

A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to

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
