What’s In A Name?

John Stewart made that very point when commenting on the LIBOR scandal by noting that the two lead protagonists were named Rich and Diamond, when Stewart said, “Are you kidding?” 
Well, we at Real Faux News have another entry for the "What’s In A Name" sweepstakes from the breaking news on the banking scandal at SCB.  It seems that they are accused of having made illegal trades involving the government of Iran and pocketing commissions of hundreds of millions of dollars in the bargain.  So why do “What’s In a Name?”  Because a New York bank regulator who has taken it upon himself to initiate the investigation is named Ben Lawsky.  So the greedy guys at LIBOR are named Diamond and Rich and the banking enforcer is named Lawsky!
So stay tuned because we’re waiting to find out if the guy behind the Republican Super Pacs is named Hiddenbucksman

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
