According to an interview with Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Fox News threatened to sue the makers of the Simpsons, a show broadcast by sister company Fox Entertainment. At issue was the Simpsons’ portrayal of Fox News in the show, which included a number of satirical headlines in the “crawl” (e.g., “Do Democrats cause cancer? . . . Rupert Murdoch: Terrific dancer . . . Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay . . . Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple…”). Fox News denies the story, but it certainly has the ring of truth.
