American Satirical Society (ASS) 2/9/12
I’m glad you brought up that Fox bunch. Fox news is about to get straightened out. I’m a charter member of the American Satirical Society (ASS) and the theme of our upcoming centennial conference will be on the status of “Reality News and Comment”. It has gotten so bad on Fox and Glen Beck and the like that an honest satire writer can hardly make a living any more. Satirical writers make up a bunch of ridiculous shit and it could almost be true so it is amusing. Those writers in the Reality News and Comment section, who work for Fox, make up a bunch of ridiculous shit and put it out like it is the truth. There is only room for so much ridiculous shit in the world at any one time.
It is blatantly unfair.
And the salaries those guys get paid just for making up ridiculous shit for Hannity is really ridiculous.
We’ve got to get the money out of satire. ASS has already talked to an attorney.
Why negotiate when you can litigate is our motto.
If any one is interested, the convention is being held at the James E Turk Resort/Casino/Spa/Power Plant in scenic Fulton Ark. Tickets are still available
