#50. The Bidens

I occasionally watch Fox News.  Just to see where they're coming from.  But eventually, the excessively obnoxious, badly comedic, snarling skit-oriented character assassination becomes too much to bear.  And I gotta change the channel back to MSNBC or CNN.  Admittedly, those two networks do the same thing.  It's just so much worse on Fox. 

It would seem, that in the aftermath of the Orange Prolapse's overwhelming defeat, Fox is regrouping and leaning hard right.  Getting back to their roots and appealing to the Trumper cult of personality.  I imagine they're worried about OANN and Newsmax poaching their viewers.

Fox always liked to create those "blippish" segments with the hokey music added in.  Here's one that I think would resonate within the Fox News echo chamber.  A very familiar adaptation of The Jetsons theme song, but with Biden family cartoon characters.  Instead of the "car plane," think in terms of being chauffeured around in an electric SUV.  Make the whole thing an innuendo-oriented referendum on the Green New Deal.  In the final scene, George Jetson struts into his office, sits down and puts his feet up on table.  That would naturally be replaced with President Biden walking into the Oval Office and falling asleep at the resolute desk.

Fox News animators could even consider an alternative second line... "His boy was Beau."  Now would that be considered out of bounds?  Normally yes.  But in the current 'anything goes' political climate, I'm not so sure.  Seriously, would anyone be truly shocked if Tucker Carlson deliberately misquoted Nancy Pelosi's recent comment about "the enemy within" as "her enema within."

Growing up, I never cared much for The Jetsons.  Or cartoons in general for that matter.  But I did have a deep affinity for Speed Racer.  Go figure.  Spridal and his pet monkey Chim Chim just had this resiliently mischievous allure.

Please do not share this information with President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, Ashley Biden, Fox News, and/or former President Donald J. Trump.
