When I saw the advertisement for this on the FNC, I thought it was kinda funny.

That was kinda funny. Sadly, the show only goes so far beyond that. The episode I'm watching right now had Rush Limbaugh as the president and Ann Coulter as the VP. They weren't born to be funny. They tried too hard to be funny. And they weren't that funny. The actual show is a little better. The anchors are merely OK. The material is that of Weekend Update, and the classic SNL skit is ten times as better.
But, truth be told, there is a little treasure to be found in the trash. Some of the stuff is actually quite funny. When I say it was a rip off of Weekend Update, and it is, it almost duplicates it, and the humor in it too. Yeah, sometimes I look at it and say "That's not funny" but other times I laugh out loud. The laugh track certainly doesn't help, however. It sounds like there isn't a live audience, because the people laugh with the same volume at every single joke, which doesn't happen in sitcoms, where there is an actual live audience.
This show might go for a few more seasons. The writers aren't bad, but The 1/2 Hour News Hour (clever title by the way) is still a ways away from being anything worth watching more than a few times.
