FAUX news humour - Any recommendations?
Foxtel (one of three Australian cable TV providers) has just started screening Faux News here in Oz.

I watched it for the first time last night immediately after watching a local cable news satire called CNNN (http://www.cnnnn.com/) and it was incredibly hard to differentiate between the two, if anything Faux was funnier.

Are there any particular shows/commentators I should keep a watch out for, after all if I don't laugh I'll cry!

1. The two gays guys who are on the morning show with...
the vicious blonde with permanent PMS. I think it's actually a sitcom about a news show.

2. O'Reilly, Of Course
And Hannity (of "Hannity & Colmes").

But it's all farce, all the time.

4. will keep my eyes open
had to laugh last at last nights description of the CIA/Karl Rove story: they mentioned "possible leak" a couple of times but not once did they utter "from the whitehouse"

then they moved on to the outrage they felt that agreements with certain muslim nations mean that bible and other non islamic religious materials can not be sent to serving troops in said countries. They couldn't understand "why we let them in to Guatanamo" in reference to the religious advisors currently under suspicion of spying. Not one of the three bleating heads (one was a blonde woman who's role seemed to be saying "i don't really understand that" and asking the men for their opinion) considered that the USA, unlike some totalitarian Islamic states is supposed to have a seperation of church and state.
