Idiot of the Day: Fox News
By VictorM: The creeps at Fox News network were so eager to report a nutty story that they didn't bother to properly check its origin. Think Progress has the details:On Tuesday, Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends” aired at least eight segments on a purported “news” story that was actually a parody article written by a publication similar to The Onion.
The backstory: Last week in the town of Lewiston, Maine, a group of Somalian Muslim middle school students were the subject of a cruel prank when their peers placed a ham steak next to them in order to personally offend the students...
This actual story was then spoofed by a parody site called Associated Content, which made up quotes and details, such as the school’s intention to “create an anti-ham ‘response plan.’”
Follow the link to the Think Progress post to see the video of the Fox News idiots talking about this story. The one guy at the end of the video says: "I hope we're not being duped." No, you weren't; you duped yourselves!
