Looks like Fox, being criticized for being different than the others, decided to use some of the same practices.
They're just trying to be like the others. You should give them kuddos for that.
Not that Fox Repug Propaganda network and its sheeple followers have any link to reality, any respect for journalism or the truth, but this is pretty cool:
Fox Nation readers confuse Onion article with real news
Fox News' opinion website Fox Nation and their readers don't seem to know satire when they see it.
The Fox News sister site re-posted a joke from the satirical website The Onion Friday about President Barack Obama sending a 75,000-word e-mail to the the entire nation. At no point does Fox Nation note that the story is a satire.
The Onion story joked that Obama had "reached the end of [his] rope" and sent out the "rambling" stream of consciousness e-mail that addressed everything from the war in Afghanistan to his live-in mother-in-law.
The story goes on to say that the fake Obama e-mail was 27 megabytes and 127 printed pages.
If Fox Nation knows the story is a joke, they aren't letting on, and many of the comments on the post treat the story as if it were actual news.

the article has several apparently serious comments as if the Onion joke were the "truth".
Actually, Fox Repug Propaganda network making up "news" and is different from the Onion making up jokes in the Fox ain't funny. And the Onion is a lot more creative than predictable Fox crap.

Who else passes off Onion stories as real?
Onion stories often confuse those who already know/have read their stuff before, tbh
Onion stories are purposely outrageous in order to prevent confusion. In most cases, once you finish reading an Onion article, you better be pretty certain it isn't real, otherwise you're pretty ing stupid
Pretty much lol
i thought fox news was the onion? hmm...
WC defending Fox Repug Propaganda network.
Fox isn't criticized and trashed for being "different, but for being hate media, bullying, opinionated assholes, extremely slanted to the right and the Repugs, even employing 4 or 5 Repug presidential hopefuls.
Well, it was z0sa you were quoting. Consider the source before wasting keystrokes.
Who knows what "ChuckD" (lol) is butthurt about. BTW, Onion articles confuse people all the time, it's part of what makes them so funny - the amount of people who bite. Did I mention their intelligence levels? No.
ChuckD.. lol. I hope that's not your real name.
I'm pretty sure ChuckD is one of the s who trashes d228 for posting articles and links. And he's around 50 years old, IIRC. What a lame life this dude must have.
The thread le is misleading. FOX News Channel did not report the Onion article as fact. Readers on an opinion based website were the ones that were confused. FOX News Channel has a lot of dumbasses and bags but they're not that stupid. Megyn Kelly is hot too. And so is that woman that is married to the boss of the NFL.
greyforest with the goods.
There's easily half of those that would make good Onion stories.
I see that was over your head.
@ greyforest's post. I don't know how anyone can watch that garbage network unless it's for laughs.
What channel can I find Fox News on? I keep comedy central on in the background hoping it shows up...
That is beautiful, Greyforest. A big you to anyone that tries to claim Faux News is a real news org.
Greyforest just did enough PWNAGE to last a lifetime.
Well done, sir. Well done.
What about MSNBC's lovefest for Obama?
What about it?
I will say this, there was a pretty stupid girl in a class that I had during my undergrad. It was a humanities class about mythology. We had to give a short (5 min) presentation in which we chose a mythological character and compared them to someone currently in the public eye. This girl chose Loki and compared him to Kim Jong Il. Halfway through her presentation I almost fell out of my seat because one of her sources was a news story about him wanting to bring the moon to N. Korea and how he was building a machine to do this. Its an onion article. She used it as a source. In college. sad
Dear god tell me you have this on tape
That would have been classic. And yes, yes I did call her out.
Haha what did she say? That's funny as
