..... and they were stupid enough to try to ambush Ed Asner and he ripped them
a new one and then they showed on the carnage on Hannity's show.

At no point does Fox try to say the facts are wrong in the cartoon but they
are now spending tens of thousands of dollars trying to change the subject.

Roger Ailes was a 1960 and 70s tv person who knew that providing phony
TV news stories could help people like Nixon but now he can not keep up
with the new reality.
