It's about-dang-time we got to poke fun at the other side. I'll definitely check it out.

This is going to p_ss the moonbat crowd off...
Satire is STRICTLY reserved for Leftists. The Party does not allow dissent on this matter...

Going to have to check it out. Making fun of libs is such a target rich environment, it has to be a hit.

I love how the ad for the show mentions Tom Cruise, the ACLU, and anything with ACLU in it's name.

LOL Limbaugh announced his role today. He plays the President and Ann Coulter is his Veep. The show is a take off on MSM news in a similar vein to TW
3, the old David Frost
That Was The Week That Was program I remember from my younger days. This is supposed to follow the new Hannity show (! is that w/o Colmes???).
Rush says only 2 episodes were produced and ratings will determine if the show is a go. Tune in and tell your friends. If it has Limbaugh and Coulter, lib heads are sure to explode. This could be hugh! I'm series!

I watch news channels for news. Not comedy. Not "human interest". Not "fashion". And certainly not for "Celebrity and Entertainment" pieces.
I wish Fox would stick to real news.

One seg discusses the timeless popularity on campus of T-shirts bearing the iconic image of Che Guevara. "We spin it into a campus T-shirt salesman who also sells T-shirts of Mao and Hitler," said co-producer Manny Coto. The Mao ones would probably sell like hotcakes on campuses. TROP members would snap up the Hitler ones.

I saw a clip and it was hilarious...however, I think this type of show is not watched alot by right leaning folk as much as straight news and analysis....I'd watch it and I'm 49, but I think most of those shows draw the youth in who tend to lean left until they wise up......lol
To: 2ndDivisionVet
This should be on the Fox Entertainment Channel, not Fox News.
It provides ammunition for those who say Fox News is not a credible news source.
Yes, the Daily Show is similar and leans left but it is, appropriately, on the Comedy Channel.

Will Greta come in and give the "Missing Blond College Girl of the Week" report?

I saw a clip on this on H&C last night. Sorry people, I thought the whole thing wasn't very funny. I'd like to say it was worth a chuckle, but it wasn't.

Good satire is hard to get right, especially in an ensemble comedy format. It took The Daily Show --which this show is cribbing from-- years to hit its stride. Good luck to them, but it's going to be tough to get a pro-establishment satire to take off.
