Simpsons : From David's earlier post at Crooks and Liars, here is the Simpsons' scene that got Bill O'Reilly's knickers in a knot.

See, he has all the problems in the world already solved so he gets pissy about a cartoon show ribbing Fox News. I wonder how much noise he raised about the Muslim people getting riled over a cartoon in a newspaper? Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean. We're unbalanced. It's unfair! Very funny...
Pinheads? Bill OReilly Fires Back At The Simpsons For Fox News Swipe
Sunday night’s episode of The Simpsons opened with a harsh jibe at Fox News, or more to the point, the audience of Fox News, when a news chopper featured a fictional FOX News slogan emblazoned on a Helicopter that read “Not Racist But #1 With Racists.” Bill O’Reilly, the Irish beat cop of Fox News, took exception of the cartoon family, calling producers “pinheads” for continually “biting the hand that feeds them.”

Bart Simpson, scourge of 'No 1 network for racists'
Used to hectoring real-life public figures for views he considers Unpatriotic, right-wing US television presenter Bill O'Reilly has expanded his range of targets to include America's most beloved family, the Simpsons. The host was not amused when the popular cartoon included a scene in which a Fox News Helicopter is shown bearing the slogan "Not Racist, but #1 with racists".
Since The Simpsons goes out on FOX, the joke struck O'Reilly as misplaced. "Pinheads? I believe so," he said. "Continuin...
OReilly attacks Simpsons as pinheads after Fox #1 with racists jibe
Stumble This! Fox News' Bill O'Reilly got his revenge on The Simpsons Monday but didn't deny the charge that his network is popular with Racists. On Sunday's episode of the long-running cartoon series, a FOX News Helicopter carrying a network executive reads, "Fox News: Not Racists, But #1 With Racists." After the FOX News executive steps out of the Helicopter into the head of the Statue of Liberty, the Aircraft goes into a tailspin and crashes. The pilot can be heard saying, "It's not fair, we...

The Simpsons Hit Fox News: Not Racist But #1 With Racists
The creative minds behind America’s favorite cartoon family The Simpsons not only have license to make any anti-corporate joke that is at their avail, they also seem to take full advantage of said license. Take for example last night’s episode that featured lots of jokes that many saw as anti-Republican. But it was the fictional Fox News slogan emblazoned on a Helicopter that will raise the most eyebrows.
There is no shortage of examples in which The Simpsons have taken swipes at New...
'Simpsons' Mocks Fox News: 'Not Racist, But #1 With Racists' (VIDEO)
"The Simpsons" took its latest dig at Fox News on Sunday's episode, inventing a new logo for the channel: "Not Racist, But #1 With Racists."

Granted, it's hardly the first time the cartoon has jabbed at its sister channel ("The Simpsons" is, of course, on Fox). Below, see the Fox News gag, and the setup for the episode, where America's media elite meets in the head of the Statue of Liberty to invent a new Health scare that will keep people glued to their televisions.

The Simpsons Mocks Fox News
Last night, The Simpsons took aim at Fox News in the very first scene of the episode, via a decal on a Helicopter owned by the network, proudly proclaiming "Not Racist, but #1 with racists," as if it's the network slogan.
The couch gag for the episode mocks another FOX property, Avatar, and soon after the FOX Helicopter deposits its passenger, a group of media elites injects Jeff Zucker with an experimental virus.
The episode is available below, via Hulu.
This is far from the first time that t...
The Simpsons Archive: Swipes at Fox on The Simpsons
Krusty: May I say something? FOX: Certainly congressman. (switches to split shot of both Candidates, and other guy is now upside down) FOX: You make a very adulterous point! We will now conclude this debate with a Krusty campaign commercial.. Do Democrats Cause Cancer? Find Out at foxnews.com... Lisa: Forget it BART. It's so bright in the sky you can't see anything but the Fox satellite. (We see the satellite, upheld by balloons, parts falling off.) BART: Well, we've learned that if you don't l...
Playing with Poop: Meltdown with Keith Olbermann, Part 54
Jon Stewart’s setting himself up as the new standard of reasonable may be a bit of a stretch; but you’ve got to admire how he rattles Keith Olbermann.
However, the fact that this worries Keith makes the case that Stewart is primarily on the left side of the spectrum- even if he is an honest liberal. What worries Olby most is that Stewart is the most influential voice in Keith’s target audience.
Lately, Keith has been freaking out that Stewart has been equating MSNBC ...
Resentment News (and More Blondes Per Square Foot): Explaining What Fox News Channel Is
Not sure whether I will continue to do these things, but I recorded my second Late Night with PressThink video. It tries to explain “what Fox News actually is, which really means explaining it to myself…” The original is here if you wish to embed. Some of the key concepts: On FOX, the news exists in order to generate Controversy. And controversy exists in order to generate resentment. And the resentment is what generates Ratings. So this is my most concise idea about Fox: ...
FOX News sucks, so support FOX News
Here's an ad submitted by the Palm Center, a Santa Barbara-based research center that produces research and conferences on Don't Ask, Don't Tell:
The ad was rejected by Fox News. Here's Palm Center Director Aaron Belkin:
"I am surprised that Fox News would reject an ad featuring allied Generals, given that host Bill O'Reilly and guest contributor Liz Cheney have both expressed support for open gay service. This is an important time for input from all sides on this issue, and I hope Fox will ...
Who are we? Who is "us"?
Over the weekend, I played catch-up with a couple of DVRd episodes of Bones, classic nerd show that it is. If you don't know the show, it's centered on a forensic anthropologist ("Bones") and her team at a Smithsonian Institute knock-off--the "Jeffersonian Institute", in crime-fighting partnership with an FBI agent. In one of the episodes I watched, a sunken slave ship has been recovered, and the remains are brought to the Jeffersonian to be analyzed. The lab's supervisor, Dr. Camille Saroyan ...
Keith Olbermann Calls For Fox To Dump Judge Andrew Napolitano Over 9/11 Comments
Judge Andrew Napolitano has taken his firebrand Libertarian show, Freedom Watch, to the big leagues, anchoring the Most Expensive Real Estate on the Fox Business Network- and it took less than a month of Free Market values and government distrust for Keith Olbermann to be calling for his dismissal. The issue? Napolitano really doesn’t trust the government, whether it comes to taxes, social programs, or, uh, who was really behind 9/11.
Napolitano visited Controversial radio host Alex ...
Fox News Brings On A Marriage Counselor To Discuss Obamas Strained Relationship With Business
Following in the footsteps of The Nutrition Twins offering diet tips to reduce the Deficit, Your World with Neil Cavuto trotted out Cooper Lawrence, a “relationship expert,” to discuss President Obama’s strained relationship with Big Business yesterday (11/23/10). Guess who was supposed to do all the compromising?
Cavuto said, by way of explanation for bringing on Lawrence, “Instead of asking a pundit or a politician about it, I decided to go to my buddy to sort this a...
Everyone Is Hate-Reading Sarah Palin's New Book (The Atlantic Wire)
WASHINGTON, DC – When the final Harry Potter book was published, many wondered what author could follow J.K. Rowling and stoke such rabid anticipation for every release among her readers. The answer: Sarah Palin. Palin's book, America by Heart, is in stores now and pretty much everyone is writing about it, though in the Alaskan's case, many have to hold their noses to do it.
One of those brave reviewers is Slate's Dave Weigel, who promises that if you set "your expectations for the new ...
Tonight's Simpsons Was Even More Anti-Republican Than Usual
Follow Jalopnik's "J Team" coverage of the LA Auto Show all this week. This content is restricted. Even in a climate where somehow more people are missing Dick Cheney having power, a show with broad appeal like The Simpsons can pull no punches in accusing him of straight up evil. This and Fox News hilarity inside. The episode starts off with a bang as we see a Fox News bigwig showing up for a secret meeting. Fair and balanced. Then things get a little more pointed, revealing the identity of Smi...

Ian Gurvitz: Bill O'Reilly Said Something Interesting
On the Season Finale of Real Time with Bill Maher, Bill O'Reilly said something interesting. No, really. Toward the end of their discussion about the Bush Tax Cuts and whether the wealthy could withstand the potential 3% bump, O'Reilly responded: "the philosophy is that income redistribution isn't in the Constitution. It wasn't how the country was set up. This is a capitalistic society." That comment nagged at me for a while until I figured out why: it's wrong. I'm not trying to take shots at ...
Bill OReillys pathetic softball interview with Whoopi Goldberg: Two Years Ago it Was The White People That Were The Terrorists
Bill O’Reilly’s pathetic softball interview with Whoopi Goldberg: “Two Years Ago it Was The White People That Were The Terrorists”
After all the hubbub about Goldberg and Joy Behar walking out on Bill O’Reilly during his “Muslim” comment on The View back in October, one would think that Bill O’Reilly would at least challenge Whoopi Goldberg if she ever had the guts to appear on his show (The O’Reilly Factor) again. I guess it really doesn’t t...
Bill OReilly Asks Whoopi About The View Walkout And The Muslim Problem
Before Juan Williams-gate and Keith Olbermann-gate, there was Joy and Whoopi-gate—when Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg stormed off the set of The View after a comment made by guest Bill O’Reilly rubbed them the wrong way. Though both hosts have spoken out about the incident since, both on their own show and elsewhere, neither has sat down with O’Reilly himself to discuss what happened—until now.
Whoopi was Bill’s guest on tonight’s installment of The O’Reilly Fact...
The Tea Party Versus GE
Yesterday, Paul Bedard previewed the launch of FreedomWorks' long-discussed campaign against corporations that supported elements of Barack Obama's agenda. Today, we get the Wilson Reasearch Strategies polling of "801 self-identified conservative voters" to show what happens to the favorability of those corporations when their Treason is revealed. The numbers for Johnson & Johnson are extraordinary. Before Conservatives know it lobbied for Obama bills, its favorables are 60/8. After, they re...
