HISTORICAL STAFF INFLECTION

Interesting fact, at least it is to us at Faux News, is that no Chief of Staff has ever served an entire four-year term with a President. For one reason or another, the stresses, the close contact, the triumphs and defeats, they wind up being replaced along the way. Of course all staff members of the President submit undated resignation letters the day they are hired, so that that part is easy for the Commander in Chief. People can only ponder as to how the explosive Rahm Emanuel will thrive under the detached (and at time) low key Barack Obama. Yet he didn’t want the job, because he had a career as congressman that would have possibly led to him being the first Jewish Speaker of the House and he was persuaded by the President to take it and so far, so good, no staff inflection.

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
