Do Democrats Cause Cancer? FAUX Nooze Wanted To Sue Simpsons

In today's interview on NPR's "Fresh Air" Matt Groening reveals that FAUX wanted to sue the "The Simpsons" if it ran that episode where they parodied the same news network and its naked partisanship.

Now FAUX has a new rule saying they can't show the FAUX Nooze on its program because, I'm not kidding, the audience might mistake it for the actual news network! Sort of reveals the relative intelligence of FAUX viewers.

Here's the REAL clip, six minutes in.

9. For Anti-Litigation Conservatives

they sure do love suing people. Don't they? I guess only the rich and the powerful should have the right to sue.
