The only real downside to this is that there's a percentage of Americans who take what falls out of their screens when on FOx is on at face value, just as there's a selection of British people who buy the Daily Mail thinking it's a newspaper.
If only everyone could be convinced that it's just mental BS and not meant to be taken seriously, I'd be more than happy for both to carry on.
No-one pays attention to the drunk homeless guy yelling abuse at traffic, but put him in a suit, give him a haircut and put him behind a desk with a FOX banner in front of him and sudden;y people feel like he's a legit news source.
Anyways, 20th Cent Fox are big enough in the movie industry, why don't they make a movie where the hero is a kid, left alone to succeed in the world because his mom was hit by a Toyota Prius, out campaigning for Obama, and his dad was a lazy bum who only worked minimum wage for a homeless charity, so died of cancer, because he was a lazy bumm who should have got a proper job and been able to afford health insurance.
His rival could then beat up on him and smaller kids (bonus if they're black, mexican, or a bit 'weird') and steal their pocket money, and end up CEO of a corporation that makes phone cases out of hollowed out squirrels or something, and he and his family get to live happily ever after, while the hero gets kicked to death outside a bar for 'looking like a fag'. Does that work for FOX?
