Seriously though. We like this smartypants, but he’s not the kind of guy you want to encounter when you work for Fox News.

Fox News has been dispatching a stream of trolling reporters to Occupy Wall Street with the mission of making the protesters look stupid, using cheap editing tricks to heighten the effect. But sometimes they get a charming, silver-tongued demonstrator like Jesse LaGreca, who makes Fox and its minions look like fools. Of course, they don’t air those interviews.

A testy exchange between Press Secretary Jay Carney and Fox’s new White House correspondent Ed Henry:

“Look I know you’re creating a thing here for Fox.”

“That’s not what I’m doing, and you know better than that.”

Mmm. Testy.

More animated Taiwanese news from the funsters at NMA. This time it’s The Simpsons versus Fox News:

American TV cartoon The Simpsons has taken aim at its corporate sibling, Fox News, in a series of a jokes. The cartoon called Fox News the “No 1 news network for racists”. The jabs got to Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who called those responsible for the attacks “pinheads”. The writers behind The Simpsons have taken shots at Fox News in the past, but never with so much vitriol. This has led some to speculate the 22-year-old cartoon is struggling to remain relevant. Owner Rupert Murdoch plays both sides of the fence, allowing edgy shows to flourish on this broadcast network while simultaneously promoting his own conservative views via his news channel.
