FoxNation.com Reposts Anti-Obama Article From The Onion, Doesn't Mention It's A Joke | TPM LiveWire

FoxNation.com Reposts Anti-Obama Article From The Onion, Doesn't Mention It's A Joke | TPM LiveWire: "Yes, the Fox Nation editors were apparently so enamored with an Onion piece from today entitled 'Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail' that they reposted the first two paragraphs in their culture section with nary a sign as to its fictional nature. The only clue that this wasn't real (besides a quick peek at your inbox to confirm that Barack Obama hasn't been emailing you) was a link at the bottom instructing readers to go to TheOnion.com for the real story. This tiny link was, unfortunately, not enough for the vast majority of FN readers. At least, that's the way it seems from the comments section."

Not moderated but I do delete spam and I would rather that people not act like assholes.
