It Has Arrived
Yes ladies and jellyspoons, it has arrived. The "Half Hour News Hour" is here, but possibly not for long. For those of you blissfully ignorant, the "Half Hour News Hour" stands as Fox News' retort to the "Daily Show." Apparently, the highly esteemed "fair and balanced" Fox News Channel decided that if the liberals had their say on Comedy Central then, by golly, conservatives needed their half-hour of comedic giggles...and shits. Not so shockingly, Fox News provides the "balance" in "fair and balanced" by presenting almost entirely a conservative slant. Confused? Well, this is their explanation: the rest of the media is so infested with liberal, pinko, terrorist loving, sushi eaters that the only way to be fair and balanced is to be conservative. Hence, my friends, that think tank of cable news gave birth to the "Half Hour News Hour."
Apparently, "the Daily Show" has posed such a threat to actual, "real" news that a "real" news-station had to respond in kind. Or not so kindly. However, the sheer horror stems not just from the poor writing, but instead from those who deliver the news. In one clip, Rush Limbaugh plays the President of the United States and Ann Coulter his Vice President. The object of satire now delivers the satire like a bully who, when he finally receives his comeuppance on the playground, resorts to chimpanzee wit in order to redeem his bruised ego.
Watch if you dare.
