here's the rumor...

FNC is going to air two episodes of a show called "The Half-Hour News Hour" in early February. if these episodes do well, then it will become a regular show.

the program will be conservative news satire in the style of John Stewart and that sort of thing.

there will be a lot of cameos by famous conservatives... including Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

the first air date looks to be February 9th, and the show is being made by one of the producers of 24...

1. Um, NO! This is ancient news, and it's been canned after two failed attempts
at episodes. They didn't have enough to write regarding the Dems to fill 30 minutes. It's gone, it's done. Or in words Rush and Cheney would understand, it's Kaput.

6. Sorry, but when your own vice-president shoots his buddy when duck hunting
it's a little hard to make fun of the opposition, for anything.

7. They think it is easier to do than it is. Satire at that level night after night
is almost impossible.

Good luck with that! :sarcasm:
