The fix isn't even good enough. They need to either delete the article, or make it clear it's parody. Not everyone knows the onion is not a real news source, and many of Fox News' viewers will probably think this is fact.

Its hilarious when people fall for The Onion's articles and videos.

Since when does the US have 57 states?
Some of the other 'real' articles are just as outstanding: "common man Obama has pastry chef" "obamas grandmother prays he converts to Islam" :lolgiga said:http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/7/2010/11/screen_shot_2010-11-26_at_12.22.43_pm.png

One of my favorite Onion moments was earlier this year when one of their videos was posted on sites like Drudge Report as "MARTIAL LAW WARNING!!!":

I find Fox Nation hilarious. I mean, it's really embarrassingly stupid, and at the same time it bears the Fox brand.CygnusXS said:
Also, one of these days someone's going to prank them with a stealth edit and then they'll need to set up a system to show edits, but then that will exposes cases like this one.

The whole "prays he converts to Islam" thing is manipulative "fear" preying, plain and simple. Its quite honestly disgusting.

unfortunately, Beck has probably prepared them for that day. they'll be ready to disown you, under suspicion that you're reporting their activities to Obama's minions.Hylian7 said:
watch your back.
Surprisingly, they don't like Glenn Beck. They like the rest of Fox News, but hate him. The look on my grandmother's face when my mother said something slightly insulting to Beck was hilarious.Dreams-Visions said:

They used to do this a few years back. I worked this job where the only websites we could get were a few local ones and fox news. The only joy from reading fox news was from the onion articles they'd post once a week or so, but they stopped. Guess they're back at it.

I figured Fox was posting Onion articles as legit whenever it aligned with their strict narrative. Anything about Obama sucking gets presented as legit and everyone buys it.

Little off topic.
Thanksgiving the other day and the inlaws were over. My mother in law says she heard a trivia question, "Who was the only president to have recieved a purple heart?" My father in law got it right (JFK). Then she follows it up with "Well it certainly wasn't Barack Hussien Obama, that coward." I don't even know how you are supposed to respond to that. I'm not a huge Obama fan. I wasn't offended by the comment. I just find it sad how people are so manipulated by the media, especially Fox News. I can't even try to have a political discussion with my dad, he's feed 4 hours of ammo every day from that station. Most of the stuff I've never heard of so I can't comment on, then I look it up later and 90% of it is complete bullshit that he wouldn't believe if it was against a republican. WE ARE DOOMED AS A SOCIETY.
