Fair and Balanced

This is a song I sang recently at a fundraiser for progressive radio. Technically I wrote it, but honestly, this sort of thing just writes itself.

~Dedicated to the myth of the liberal media~

Sadaam was behind the 911 terrorists,
Progressive radio is dead,
and George W. Bush is the greatest president
this country has ever had.

So says FOX news, FOX News:
We spew it out- you lap it up.
FOX News, FOX News,
Fair and Balanced, my a**.

Al Qaida can go on and bomb San Francisco,
global warming is a liberal myth.
Gay marriage will break up your happy family
and tax cuts do not help the rich….
…on FOX News, FOX News,
We make it up: you swallow it whole.
FOX News, FOX News:
Fair and balanced, my a**.

There’s a war on Christmas from cut-and-run democrats
who want us to lose in Iraq.
Secular progressives hate babies- and puppies
Support the troops by sending them back! to Iraq!

FOX News, FOX News,
If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes true!
FOX News, FOX News
Fair and balanced, my- well, you get the idea.

Obama is a halfrican, Muslim, terrorist
Pelosi hates the US of A
And since you heard it here, on the TV
You’ll believe every word we say.

We dream it up: you pass it on.
FOX News, FOX News:
