Well, it's nice to see them copying the left, for a change:
Joel Surnow, co-creator of "24," is shooting two half-hour pilots of a skein he described as " 'The Daily Show' for conservatives," due to air in primetime on Saturdays in January.
If successful, the show could take its place on the regular schedule, adding satire to FNC's formula of news and opinion.
"The way I look at it, almost every comedy show or satire show I see uses the same talking points against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney," Surnow said. "The other side hasn't been skewered in a fair and balanced way."
Do take that last sentence to heart. "Fair and balanced" isn't meant to describe internal Fox programming, it's meant to describe the impact the right thinks Fox has on the debate. In other words, in a liberal media environment, Fox's conservative leanings make the aggregate media coverage more "fair and balanced." It does not mean that Fox's coverage is anything of the sort.
