"The Fair & Balanced Song" (to be sung to "Love and Marriage")
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Empty slogans, rabid views, and shrill rants.
Fox calls critics liars.
O'Reilly's filled with angst and ire.

Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Words that don't describe the Fox News talents.
Yet, Fox says it owns them.
Sued Penguin Books and wit Al Franken.

Try, try, try to criticize them.
Face litigation.
Try, try, try and you will only get
Big aggravation.

Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Words that don't describe the Fox News talents.
Don't you try to use them.
You can't say fair,
Not on a dare.
And balanced. Fox is on a mission.

Try, try, try to criticize them.
Face litigation.
Try, try, try and you will only get
Big aggravation.

Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Ranting righties spouting wingnut madness.
Truth is rarely heard there.
Opposing views,
Authentic news,
Dissenting voices -- Not on Fox air.
