Ok. Now for a little levity. Fox News (of the Fair and Balanced variety--don't sue me) is worried that fake news crawls might confuse the viewers. Fair and Balanced? What about just respecting the 1st Amendment? How about just starting with the basics?

t r u t h o u t - Fox Nearly Sued Itself Over 'Simpsons' Parody: " In an interview this week with National Public Radio, Matt Groening recalled how the news channel had considered legal action, despite the fact that 'The Simpsons' is broadcast on sister network, Fox Entertainment.



  According to Groening, Fox took exception took a Simpsons' version of the Fox News rolling news ticker which parodied the channel's anti-Democrat stance, with headlines like 'Do Democrats Cause Cancer?'



  'Fox fought against it and said they would sue the show,' Groening said. "
