http://www.egmnow.com/platforms/xbox_360/fox-news-rips-off-bioshock-infinite-logo-for-some-unintentional-irony/
Fox News morning show Fox & Friends recently launched a new segment about immigration reform, but the intro graphic looks a bit more Columbian than American.
Yep, it’s a blatant, unmistakeable ripoff of BioShock Infinite‘s logo. I mean, just take a look. The two shields are the exact same shapes. The top one is distressed with red letters and golden trim. The bottom one has a flag motif. Just about the only thing the Fox News version changes is adding a couple extra stars.
[spoiler=Fox Image]  [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Bioshock Infinite Logo]  [/spoiler]
Not so long story short, Fox used the Bioshock Infinite Logo while talking about needing "Harsher immigration laws". Bioshock Infinite is a game all about a group of people who worship the founding fathers to a zealous fanaticism, and view all outsiders with hostility.
Me thinks someone at Fox hates their job XD

I'm less interested in the similarities to BioShock and more amazed that someone called something 'Defending the Homeland'. Even as parody I'd call that too heavy handed.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Not only is that hilariously ironic, the title seems to set the whole thing up to be a parody. How could anyone take a programme called "Defending the Homeland" seriously?
