Unfair and unbalanced, maybe. But it was sure fun.
After tweaking Fox News not once but twice in the last two weeks, the brain trust behind The Simpsons are backing off the good-natured satirical jabs at its sister network that have provoked the ire of resident FNC curmudgeon Bill O’Reilly, among others.
But don’t blame Rupert Murdoch.
After poking fun at its corporate handlers earlier this season with the infamous Banksy-animated opening depicting 20th Century Fox as a third world sweatshop, The Simpsons took on Fox News two weekends ago by flashing the biting helicopter slogan “Fox News: Not Racist, But #1 With Racists” in an episode titled “The Fool Monty.”
That didn’t amuse O’Reilly, who labeled the producers “pinheads” on his nightly talk show.
