In this month's issue of Playboy -- don't ask -- "Family Guy" creator and FOX comedy mastermind Seth MacFarlane, had some interesting things to say about Rupert Murdoch, Fox News Channel, and some FNC talent:

MacFarlane: There are things I don't like about FOX, most notably Fox News, but [Rupert] Murdoch is clearly a shrewd businessman first and a conservative second...He seems to be much more of a critical thinker than the guys he employs at Fox News. If Sean Hannity could think as critically as Rupert, I might like him.

When asked about how his success is helping pay the salaries of Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, McFarlane responded: "I guess if some of it could go toward hiring a dermatologist for O'Reilly and a dietitian for Hannity, I'd feel better about it." Zing!



Apparently MacFarlane is not always a team player when it comes to his employer. That is probably fine with Murdoch as long as the money keeps rolling in. The full story can be found by clicking here.

I loved the Michael Moore is gay episode. Lois gets a job at fox as a reporter and her assignment is to spy on MM to find out the identity of his gay lover. She finds out that it is Rush Limbaugh and Fox is no longer interested in the story. In the end they find out that both people are Fred Savage in different body suits.

Definitely no surprise. I enjoyed the Fox News episode earlier this year as well; I'm not surprised they would show something damning their own product, it's all about the money.
