However, according to a statement from ABC TV, management has confirmed it hopes to replace the second series with cat videos.
.As soon as we can find enough left wing cats who instinctively hate Australia, they.ll be replaced,. said an ABC representative.
The game show about the news is hosted by Craig Reucassel with Fake Fact Checker Chas Licciardello.
It is produced by the creative team behind The Chaser and The Checkout, including Ben Jenkins, Zoë Norton Lodge, Scott Abbot, Andrew Hansen and Julian Morrow.
"ABC management confirmed that for the second series the show has been moved out of the news division to allow it to be more biased and have less rigorous vetting of the studio audience," according to a statement.

The Meaa has criticised the Arts Minister for refusing to accept a petition urging the government not to axe the process of approving visas for imported actors and crew.
A delegation of Australian actors and crew went to Canberra on Tuesday to present the petition, #saveourstories, which features photos of more 1,000 campaign supporters.
Senator George Brandis declined to meet the delegation despite repeated requests, the Meaa tells members in its latest bulletin.
Instead, actors Geoff Morrell, Nadine Garner and Jay Laga.aia plus key grip Dave Nichols and costume supervisor Robyn Elliott met with Labor shadow ministers and crossbenchers.
Meaa Actors Equity director Zoe Angus said: .The petition shows the faces of our industry. It sends a clear message to the Abbott government: Don.t scrap vital job opportunities for Australia.s creative talent and the chance to tell uniquely Australian stories..
Morrell added: .Changing these laws would put us...

The Meaa is lobbying MPs to block any government moves to reform the system of approving visas for foreign actors and crew to work in Australian taxpayer-subsidised screen productions.
The union is hoping the Greens, Senator Nick Xenophon and other independents in the Senate will file a disallowance motion if the legislation gets through the lower house.
Xenophon joined actors John Howard, Susie Porter and Geoff Morrell when they went to Canberra in February to voice their opposition to dismantling protections for Australians employed in tax-payer supported films and TV productions.
Morrell, who is Equity.s acting president, told members in the Equity magazine, .We await the government.s next step .but have been encouraged by the response to our visit to Canberra recently to lobby the crossbench Senators to support our position. [We] received unqualified support from the Greens and several important crossbench Senators.

The Church of Scientology is planning a publicity drive in Australia to challenge what it calls “misconceptions” among the public and the media.
The controversial religious group kicked off a PR drive with an appearance on Seven breakfast show Sunrise last week, although the interview with church spokeswoman Virginia Stewart was cut short to make way for a live cross with opposition leader Tony Abbott.
The Sunrise interview was prompted by the publication of a guide for journalists that outlined the areas where the organisation feels it has been wrongly represented in the past.
Among the criticisms levelled at Scientology in recent years are that it is secretive, controlling and believes humans are descended from aliens – all allegations that the church strongly refutes.
The Church of Scientology plans to launch a localised version of a Us-made TV ad that ran around the Super Bowl, direct marketing activity to promote its videos and books,...
