From vigilant video blogger John Harrison comes the latest episode of ATTACK OF THE CARTOONS.
In the first video, Family Guy mocks fear-mongering TV News (like its parent network Fox). What if that plane had crashed into bunnies and caused a man to beat his wife? (FYI: Yes, spousal abuse is one of the least funny things to depict but remember the satirical point: it's not about laughing at abuse, it's about selling salacious news content even at the cost of the facts...)
In the second vid, the Simpsons also take on Fox, as well as inadequate support for the troops from the (formerly) Republican congress.
