Fox News - The Ultimate Story
Here's a story Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes can be particularly proud of.
Fox News picked up from the web, and immediately rebroadcast as fact - with no effort whatsoever to ascertain the truth or falsity of this "news" story - a parody of a hate-crime response, written by an Onion-like group. A sizable volume of hate-mail and calls were unleashed by the Fox viewers, who presumably were distracted from their plans to burn liberal witches at the stake.
Stay tuned; Michelle Malkin is filling in for Bill O'Reilly, who's in court defending himself from another morals charge. Michelle's going to beat up a couple of brain-damaged poor kids, after a few words from Home Depot.
