Do you go to UTSA?

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this has happened.

At no point does Fox Nation note that the story is a satire.

They did it in the first two words of the le

Maybe Fox Nation doesn't take their readers for a bunch of re s that have never heard of The Onion.

From the link provided by the OP:

The page was preserved through Google Cache, but the comment thread, which showed dozens of loyal Fox readers reacting to a joke story from The Onion as if it were real, is gone.

Some of the comments were preserved by Raw Story in the story below.

That would be a first for Fox. Are they expanding beyond their core demo?

[DMX7]

For my masters? Yes.

Where did you go for your undergrad then? Now I'm curious.

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.

Seriously? That's what you are going with?

Name one other satirical article from Fox News Opinion pages.

Just one.

If you can't, then quit pissing on my shoes and telling me its raining.

You damn well know they leaped on the chance to make political hay from something that got forwarded to them as "fact" and the low standards of journalism practiced at Fox let it through what should be a fact-checking filtering process.

You know it, and I know it. Whether you, or any other Fox "news" supporter/listener will admit to those low standards is another thing.

They altered the headline after it got reported in elsewhere that they got suckered.

Sorry bizzarro_butons, you fail.

Again.










(edit)
The story has been completely pulled by now.
Too bad for Yoni the screen cap proof of the low journalistic standards of his favorite news source lives on.
