Would Create Giant Hole in Program Schedule NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) Calls for a reduction in violent political rhetoric have plunged the Fox News Channel into chaos, with a Fox spokesperson warning today that such a move would leave us with 24 hours to fill.
Lets not underestimate the giant hole this would create, said spokesperson Carol Foyler. Fox without violent rhetoric would be like The Weather Channel without maps.
Ms. Foyler said Fox was preparing for a worst-case scenario in which it was pressured to air responsible statements in place of its current programming: If it comes to that, God forbid, well just air 24 hours of 24.
In contrast with Ms. Foylers alarmed comments, Fox host Glenn Beck took the news of a possible programming change in stride: If Im kicked off the air, Ill return to my first love: standing in the back of crowded theaters and yelling, Fire.
But Fox commentator Sarah Palin was less enthusiastic about the new call for tempered rhetoric: For the first time in my life I dont have anything to write on my hand.
In other cable news developments, CNN confirmed that it was considering dropping Kathleen Parker from its Parker Spitzer program, but said it had balked at Elliot Spitzers suggestion of a different woman every night.
