'Simpsons' Creator: Fox News Threatened To Sue Show:

"Groening told National Public Radio that the cable network threatened to sue the show because in one of its episodes, it featured a news crawl that used the Fox News logo.
The crawl highlighted such fake news headlines as 'Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer ... Dow down 5000 points ... Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay ... JFK posthumously joins Republican Party ... Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple ...'
Fox denies it threatened to sue 'The Simpsons.'
Groening told NPR that the show got away with it this time, but from now on Fox has a new rule saying it can't do it again. "
