Remember that the main Fox network is not the same as Fox News. This is, after all, the same network that brought us shows like
Married with Children,
The Simpsons, and (of particular relevance to this discussion)
Family Guy. I don't know how much of an overlap there is between the people who watch Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity and those who watch
American Dad, a show that routinely lampoons stereotypical Republicans.
AFAIK, the reason this is airing on Fox is as simple as Seth MacFarlane having a previous working relationship with the execs there thanks to his various animated comedies.
