2. Terry Gross...
Is most likely the best interviewer available, in any medium, living today. Consistantly offers great insights through her interviews.

90% of the time, she asks the right questions.

3. Faux "News" threatened to sue the Simpsons!
For running a segment that parodied Faux by running fake news items. What does Faux have a copyright on fake news?

4. The Simpsons
Matt has worked the Anti-FOX News thing into the show... it's very funny when it happens because it is so unexpected.

7. In a word:
Ratings. People watch the Simpsons, and Fox gets money from advertising. So they keep the Simpsons.

if there was large enough profit to be made Murdoch would kill his own children - his sensibilities re loyalty are not sufficient reason to can a money spinner
