Perhaps they ought to clean up their own side of the house on this before they start pointing fingers.

3. Has anyone ever caught them getting "Prissy" over anything not based in reality?

I think they are pissed that reality has a liberal bias, unlike their broadcast fantasies.

5. It (the cartoon) must have hit home because "fox news" is shitting kittens over it

..... and they were stupid enough to try to ambush Ed Asner and he ripped them
a new one and then they showed on the carnage on Hannity's show.

At no point does Fox try to say the facts are wrong in the cartoon but they
are now spending tens of thousands of dollars trying to change the subject.

Roger Ailes was a 1960 and 70s tv person who knew that providing phony
TV news stories could help people like Nixon but now he can not keep up
with the new reality.

Government collects 100 percent of all assets of anyone who dies??? Sorry, that doesn't get my support.

11. That part, like the rest, is negotiable...

I'm sure, once it was under discussion, that a low end cap could be set. Say, for instance, the government getting one hundred percent of the assets of anyone whose assets are worth more than $2,000,000 dollars at the time of their death. It's negotiable.
