The Simpsons created a bit of stir last week when they placed the slogan on a Fox News helicopter similar to the one above with the slogan : Not Racists, But #1 With Racicts” which earned them the enmity of Bill O’Reilly who called the producers “pinheads” on his program.
Rather than apologizing or being cowed by the criticism the producers have taken it as more of a challenge by taking another swipe at Fox News last night.
This is not quite like biting the hand that feeds them since the program airs on Fox and not the news channel but they are owned by the same company News Corp and they leave little doubt where the producers sit on the political spectrum.
Even if the statement from last week’s episode was in jest- after all The Simpsons is an animated cartoon the producers crossed the line from entertainment to outright bias by placing it on the Fox News copter. I’m sure that they would never consider using the same language to mock a liberal network only underscoring Hollywood’s bias and hypocrisy.
Fox has been silent on the issue until now but given the popularity of the show in a generally weak schedule they probably won’t either.

3 Comments for The Simpsons Takes Another Shot At Fox News
THE SIMPSONS is only suitible for someones whow IQs are below a ants
“The Simpsons” must be doing something right, ratings wise,for them to be on the air longer that most of their viewers have been alive.
If any one out in TV land takes what is said on the the Simpsons seriously
,,,than they must ALSO think that Jon Stewart IS a serious newscaster.
It would be nice to have Mr. Groening get his butt chewed out by Rupert Murdoch over this, but that will be a snowball’s chance in hell given that newtwork FOX and FOX News are owned by the same people. Ever see anyone on TNT chew out anything on CNN or “Sports Illustrated”?
