FOX Right Wing? It Ain't So

For two weeks in a row, FOX has aired an anti-military episode of THE SIMPSONS.

Last week, the producers of the show used Treehouse of Horror regulars Kang and Kodos to comment on the war in Iraq.

This week, the skewering was courtesy Keifer Sutherland's guest appearance.

Last week, SIMPSONS' message was particularly noticeable because the episode was followed by an episode of AMERICAN DAD that tweaked the Republican stand against gay marriage and a FAMILY GUY episode that saw Stewie and Brian enlist, only to become stationed in Iraq.

Last week's three episode mini-theme aired two days before a national election that lurched the nation to the left.

This week's tweaking of the military aired on Veteran's Day weekend.

The next time you think FOX's parent company, Newscorp, is conservative - think again.

When it comes to FOX, Rupert Murdoch is an equal opportunity offender.

Sure that was "anti-military" and not "anti-war"?
