Fox News Preps News Satire Show

Via Digg, from a Forbes.com article of the same title from late November by Michael Learmonth:

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.

"There will be some elements of 'The Daily Show' and some of 'Weekend Update,' " Surnow said.

"This Just In" is the working title (Wikipedia, www.thisjustin.com), and it's supposed to premeir this month. I haven't heard anything more definite yet.

Conservatives stink at satire. But then, liberals stink at anything else.

Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
