Joan Rivers vs. FOX News: Canceled for calling Sarah Palin 'stupid and a threat'?
We all know Joan Rivers has a sharp tongue, but she can also tweet up a blood bath. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
So, who is on Joan's cutting board now? Our favorite "can-see Canucks," Sarah Palin and the FOX News network! Apparently, while promoting her new show on WE TV, "Joan Knows Best," with her daughter, Melissa Rivers, Joan made some disparaging comments about the former vice presidential candidate and reality star to TMZ surrounding Palin's "blood libel" comments.
"I was cancelled from FOX for saying Palin is 'stupid and a threat,' Joan tweets. "Wait till I REALLY shock them with Aretha Franklin is a bit chubby!"
According to Popeater, Joan and Melissa say the network lied when it denied their Thursday (Jan. 19) appearance on "FOX and Friends" was canceled over the statements she made about Palin and chalked it up to overbooking.
"We get a call this morning," Melissa tells the site. "[Saying,] 'You're canceled on FOX because of what you said about Sarah Palin.'"
Joan says she'll even take a lie detector test to prove that she and her daughter are telling the truth. And when Popeater asks her if she'd return to the show if FOX News asked her back, Joan had some choice words for the network saying, "[they can] go f**k themselves."
Who do you believe? Joan and Melissa or FOX News?

whatever the reason is, television is better off without Joan Rivers.

Joan doesnt bull**** so I believe her. Not a fan of hers but yea she has no reason to lie.
Oh, I believe Joan and Melissa alright! Fair and Balanced FOX is NOT! They've got to protect their cash cow!
'Canuck'? Excuse me? Do you not know that its a very rude word for a person from Quebec?
Joan is absolutely telling the truth. Fox News wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the a**.
I'm not a big Joan & Melissa fan HOWEVER Joan does shoot straight.
I don't feel that she would tell a blatant lie.
I do feel Fox & Friends and Fox News make a habit of telling tall tales !
I've caught them in lies more than once personally.
I have NEVER caught Joan in a lie even though I'm not a fan as I've said.
IN '09 there was a big deal when Ann Coulter was bumped from a scheduled interview on the Today show - they said it was to expand coverage of the middle east and then yanked in Rachel Maddow in Coulters place.
Rivers MO is to hit people when they cannot hit back.
And the word "canuck" does not mean anyone above the lower 48 - it is a very derogatory term for a French Canadian.
BUT..."Imus in the morning" can say whatever...he called Pres. Obama a "DOPE"..guess,that's OK to say..since Imus works for the FOX..& THE FOX entertainers don't like our president...the rest of us can not breathe a word of negativity against the "Queen of victimization"!!
