AM Radio, PM Mood, Something to Be Thankful For

The mood of Rush, Bill O and Sean is of course bleak those days. We’re not sure how people who’ve lived off an anti-Semitic under tone sit Shiva politically but they’ve still got (almost) two months of cherishing President Bush, and not having to fear not having the use of fear itself. One of their most often used much devices to justify a reversal of the Constitution at “24” hours notice (yes, Jack Bauer is back) is to quote the imminent supreme court justice Robert Jackson as follows “the Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact”. On being fair and balanced we wonder if they’ll remember (as their “war on Christmas season approaches) another thought from a supreme justice, “if we don’t have the freedom of irreligion, then we don’t have freedom of religion” which seems quite relevent. Go know, the source of this wisdom is that very same gentleman, Robert Jackson; aren’t facts fun. And speaking of religious freedom that is one of the things we should truly be most thankful for at this Thanksgiving time.

The Faux News Network Principles


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
