STAGE TUBE: THE SIMPSONS Snubs FOX News During 25th Anniversary Special

Fox network's long-running animated series THE SIMPSONS gave a snub to Fox News in a message which was displayed during last night's 25th anniversary show. Watch the video!

During the credits of the re-airing of the animated comedy's premiere episode, an end card showed the congratulatory message, "Congratulations FOX on 25 years...We still love you*." However, below in smaller print the card singled an exception to the sentiment, singling out Fox News as not being a part of the message. Accompanied by an asterisk, the line read: "*This doesn't include Fox News."

This is not the first time the series has displayed its dislike for the cable news network. During the 22nd season of the show, Fox aired an episode entitled "The Fool Monty" which featured a helicopter with the fake slogan "Fox News: Not Racist, But #1 With Racists."

Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly commented on the slight on his program saying, "Continuing to bite the hand that feeds part of it, Fox broadcasting once again allows its cartoon characters to run wild." 

Fox's 25th anniversary program, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, included reunions with the casts of Married ... With Children, In Living Color and That '70s Show.  The network also re-aired the first episode of Married...With Children.
