In the Simpsons cartoon, in episode #400 entitled 'You Kent Always Say What You Want', Lisa Simpson calls out the apparent disparity between the conservative stance of Fox News versus the contrast shown by the Fox Network, which permits itself to broadcast frivolous sexual content. Kent Brockman, a character depicting a newscaster, gets all flustered up by Lisa's questioning, responding with fervour that Fox deliberately airs programmes that fall foul of the Federal Communications Commission in order to have fines levied against its network, with these monies then being funneled across to fund the Republican Party. According to Kent Brockman, everyone who's in the entertainment business knows this, but all lack the willingness to report on the scam. If true, it amounts to a bizarre confession, given News Corporation's ownership of Fox and the Simpsons. |
