<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Comedy Central has made a good living out of skewering the political right. Now Fox News Channel, a primary source of material for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, is teaming with the exec producer of "24" to try its hand at a news satire show for conservatives to love. Joel Surnow, co-creator of "24," is shooting two half-hour pilots of a skein he described as " 'The Daily Show' for conservatives," due to air in primetime on Saturdays in January. If successful, the show could take its place on the regular schedule, adding satire to FNC's formula of news and opinion. "The way I look at it, almost every comedy show or satire show I see uses the same talking points against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney," Surnow said. "The other side hasn't been skewered in a fair and balanced way." </div> http://www.forbes.com/digitalentertainment...0varietytv.html Who else is in for this crash-and-burn? And there are still people who will tell you that Fox News is the only objective media outlet - and that everyone else is just the 'liberal, anti-Christian media'
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make a Colbert Report but exaggerating liberalism. This is destined to fail miserably.
The best part is that they got the guy who does '24' to write for the show. Fox seems to just get hold of a good thing, and then regurgitate it in different, 'new' ways, but the new stuff always sucks.
Has anyone watched this yet? I found a couple clips on youtube and it's just terrible. That laughtrack is beyond annoying. Wow.
