In 2003, [[Fox News]] threatened to sue the show, due to a satiric [[news crawl]] in one episode. Fox News eventually backed down, since Fox News and the Fox Network are owned by the same parent company, they would essentially be sueing themselves. Fox News made the Simpsons promise never to air another fake Fox news crawl out of fear that viewers might confuse it with the real thing.<ref>[http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271%7C84353%7C1%7C,00.html Fox News Threatens to Sue 'The Simpsons]</ref>
