sYric-STiPHuLLa Posted April 28, 2007 got this off of the huffingtonpost website: fox news quoting a parody news like(the onion) as an actual news story and making fun of some innocent somalis out in lewiston maine?. so here are the ignorant imbeciles at fox and freinds making a fool of themselves.! ******! //////////////////// 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. School officials filed a report because the students considered the act to be a hate/bias crime. 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.’” On Tuesday, Fox & Friends reported these parody quotes and details as actual news. Poking fun at the students, hosts asked whether ham was “a hate crime…or lunch?” and showed screen shots of ham sandwiches, starving Somalians, belching, animal noises, and mock “reenactments” of the incident. Ironically, the hosts assured viewers several times, “We’re not making this up!” Watch a compilation: http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/27/fox-parody/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
