Fake news with a Right-wing bent? And this differs from all the other programming on Fox News... how, exactly?

They could have OJ host the show.

A right wing comedy show? That's almost as big an oxymoron as Christian Rock...

I see the leftist minority has already taken the first digs in this post.

Having said that, I'm not too interested in trying to go tit-for-tat with Jon Stewart. It's like making the admission that Stewart's stupid jokes hurt the conservative message, and I don't think that's true, because only stupid people watch that show to begin with. I say it's a bad idea, but who knows?

Ironic that the libtards always whine about Fox slanting right, yet, never mention just how far left the NYT, LAT, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC is.

There are more libs on Fox in a day than there are conservatives on all other outlets, combined, in a week.

Well, last poster said it all.

On the other hand, I think Dennis Miller would ROCK as the host of this show, except for the pesky fact that two of his shows have failed.

Edgy(sp) political commentary only works if the Libs do it.(maybe they're the only ones that stay up that late at night since the rest of us have to work...)

And with regards to the comment from Anony-mouse, I remind he or she of the following quote from a GREAT AMERICAN( and seller of propane and propane accessories):

"You're not making Christianity better, you're making Rock and Roll worse" -Hank Hill on Christian Rock

heh...

Who the hell is John Stewart?

There's ony one problem with the idea. A major problem at that. There isn't a right winger on this earth with a sense of humor or an ability to understand political satire. Well, I guess that's 2 problems.

(hugie)-comeing from someone with shit for brains.

What's Gianni smoking, Conservatives far outweigh Liberals on all sunday talk shows, regular cable news programing etc,etc...

You guys take that "Liberul Media" meme to seriously.

The show will be canceled in less than a month, if it even airs.

Cons don't have much of a sense of humor now that the religious right have taken over. The Libs haven't been funny since political correctness took root. And it's a dive to the bottom to figure out which is less funny: Day by Day or Doonsbury (sp?) (at least Chris Muir can say that he's new to the game, Trudeau has no such excuse). Where have you gone, P. J. O'Rourke? A nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.

This is a concept that NEEDS to happen - there needs to be some right-wing counter to all the left-biased "infotainment" shows out there now.

HOWEVER, just putting it on Fox News won't do any good, and announcing it as "right-leaning" will keep the dumb squishy center from watching it.

START OUT as just a "new & innovative" comedy show, with fake news, but skewer the left like almost nobody does. Then the right fill find it on its own. DON'T tip your hand that it's "right-leaning" off the bat.

And DON'T put it on a news channel. If Big Fox won't pick it up, there's a lot of other basic cable channels out there. FX, Comedy Central, USA, etc.

jhow

Thanks once again for your reply. You always prove my point. I think we're friends.

lonevoice,

Bill O'Reilly, is that you? Dissing Late Show viewers again?

Remember when you labeled Stewart's viewers "stoned slackers", and were smacked down by the demographic studies that demonstrate that Stewart's typical viewer in fact has far more education, a higher household income, and scores much better on current affairs quizzes than your typical viewer?

And Nielsen (2004) says the median age of Daily Show viewers is 35.....

Or we could just continue to watch network news and laugh directly At the libtards- being themselves.

I agree with LJD. Just watch network news shows and get your laughs direct. I don't need anyone, from a "progressive" or "psuedo-conservative" news program telling me what is funny about the news.

The only way FOX news differs from CNN is their slight leaning to the right and larger stable of barely credible talking heads.

Fox exists solely because Rupert Murdoch saw that he could make money on a psuedo-conservative news channel.

The only news channel I dislike more than FOX is CNN.

Won't watch it. FOX ruined itself in my eyes by glorifying OJ Simpson and the two murders he committed. What FOX is doing with the book and the upcoming segment on TV is disgusting beyond belief and betrays everything that would be conservative values. I will not watch FOX again, nor will I go to the website again.

Besides, no righty could be halfway as entertaining as Stewart.

"Go ahead. It's your money." If you have a product that people want, it will do well. If it's crap, it will fail. Watching O'Reilly, coulter, etc. in action it appears that anger rather humor drives the right. Even dennis miller, who used to funny, now comes across as angry and whiney which is probably why he isn't doing as well. Even when directed at itself, the best satire and humor seems to come from liberals. Especially after you exclude the racist and drunk jokes that many conservatives seem to favor.
Some christian rock is acceptable, not sure I've heard a really funny christian comic, though.

Jeff hit it on the head. Anger isn't funny except in a satirical sense. Anger as humor comes off as an attack. Which is exactly why this won't work - but please, knock yourselves out.

Oh, and BTW Expertise, we are the leftist MAJORITY. YOU are the minority.

Check the election results.

First - I have to say that I am a 'liberal' although I tend to be a lot more libertarian about most things (why I can't support the Republicans right now) but this actually seems like a great idea. Liberals aren't the 'party of the angels' any more than the Republicans are. Making fun of them will point out this important fact. Also, please drop this whole 'liberal media/conservative media' thing. Once you cast yourself as the middle, then it just becomes a semantic (i.e. meaningless) argument, IMHO. Lastly, saying that Republicans can't be funny is a silly as saying the Democrats can't win elections. Wait a few years, and it'll change. Wait until the Republicans have something real to make fun of.

maybe oj and karl rove could co host. the neotards have no funny bone. look at the dark lord cheney for evidence, although when he went hunting on election day...bwaaaahahahah!!!

Authoritarians, in this case the new breed of Republican Neo-Conservatives, or religious conservatives, suck at ironic humor. In fact, the kind of critical thinking required for irony is anathama to the authoritarian mindset. That's why any attempt for FOX News to ape The Daily Show will fall flat.

In politics today, Majority Leader Pelosi got a face lift this morning, and passed legislation to raise taxes on cosmetic surgery in the afternoon..HA, HA, HA..

Now with a live report, we go to our Senior Surgical Correspondent OJ Simpson.

Hey, if it's funny, then show it! Why oppose anything that is designed to make people laugh? My question is, when is Fox news going to drop their stupid 'Fair and Balanced' slogan, when people inside Fox, outside Fox, and everywhere else openly admit they lean to the right? I also think it's funny that all video media in the world is liberal except for Fox. Fox is the king of infotainment. Hell, they practically invented it, and other media is trying to keep up. OJ Simpson being being dished a couple million just proves my point. And as ukie mentioned earlier, viewers of Stewart scored better on current event facts than Fox viewers. Conclusion, Fox news is correct and all the media in the world are libtards. My proposed new slogan, "Fox News, We're Right, and you know it".

Fox News Channel had nothing to do with the OJ show. So nice try.

It's true about just showing liberals themselves and that being funny enough. Just go to these protest rallies and film the idiots on parade. People will laugh their asses off.

Oh yeah, and just quote some of the morons too.

FOX canceled the show, and News Corp is dropping the book. Chalk one up for decency and anti-FOX outrage.

only stupid people watch that show to begin with

I'm one of those stupid people. I think the show is funny. That's why I watch. It beats the hell out of watching a humorless talking-point-spewing robot like Sean Hannity, or watching Bill O'Reilly scream somebody down. Stewart is almost always polite and respectful toward his guests, liberal or conservative.

I have a bachelor's degree and a professional license, but if I'm stupid for passing on O'Reilly and watching the Daily Show, I'll stay stupid.

I see the leftist minority has already taken the first digs in this post.

Minority?

only stupid people watch that show to begin with

Ah, the old schoolyard reasoning. I believe that's easily countered by the "rubber/glue" defense.

Ironic that the libtards always whine about Fox slanting right, yet, never mention just how far left the NYT, LAT, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC is.

Yes, it's very ironic.

Fox News Channel had nothing to do with the OJ show. So nice try.

What, do you just sit there and make sh*t up?

Thanks hugie--nice to know I got under your skin. Only point you ever make is that you still have shit for brains. (snicker snicker).

Brian-Hey dumbass Fox network and Fox news are not the same company. I would moninate you to club for those that have shit for brains but you are already a member.

"nominate"

I think it's time to write to NBC and bitch about that idiot, Keith Olbermann. I can't believe Jay Leno and Brian Williamswould work for the same company.

Oh, what's that? Olbermann works for MSNBC, not NBC proper? Leno and Williams have nothing to do with it?

Never mind...

J.

My mistake. (Not that I thought they were the same company, but I missed the distinction Jo was making.)

See Jay? An adult admits his errors.

What a short memory you all seem to have. The Daily Show was ragging on Clinton when he was president. They ripped on Bush and the right wing congress when they were in power. They'll rip on the Dems now that they have congress. That's the point of the show: to highlight absurdities and people's stupidity, no matter where it comes from. Just because we've had six straight years of (mostly) right wing stupidity doesn't make the Daily Show left-leaning.

"It's true about just showing liberals themselves and that being funny enough. Just go to these protest rallies and film the idiots on parade. People will laugh their asses off."

Right out of the box, conservative "humor" on display. Liberals LOOK funny.

Good lord.

Actually Fox has comedy news. it's on 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Whenever I need a good laugh or wrong information I turn it on.
