Half Hour News Hour is Back

By Hunter Baker on 3.4.07 @ 6:44PM

It's time to watch the Half Hour News Hour again on Fox News tonight. A knowledgeable friend tells me ratings were good for the first installment. If we want to have a conservative news satire available, it makes sense to support this pioneering effort.

For those who complain they don't like the laugh track or have some other criticism, remember that the Daily Show was brutal when it began. The smooth lefty comedy news show you see today (if you bother) didn't happen overnight.

Catch the Half Hour News Hour at 10pm eastern.
