5. I read that one Fox Nation reader was diligent enough
to contact the Onion in an effort to confirm the story.

6. Russia Today outfoxes Fox.
The interviewer, Alyona Minkovsky (born in Moscow) is another of those RT reporters who, according to Bill O'Reilly, "can't even speak English."

O'Reilly recently said this of RT reporter Anastasia Churkina who, like Minkovsky, speaks flawless American accented English. Either O'Reilly didn't bother to watch the Churkina interview, didn't fact-check his assertion (he does have a staff, doesn't he?), or else told a flat-out lie.

Typical.

Here's the Churkina interview: http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=1503

11. Either O'Reilly
A) didn't bother to watch the Churkina interview
B) didn't fact-check his assertion (he does have a staff, doesn't he?)
C) or else told a flat-out lie.


These are not mutually exclusive. The answer is...

D) all of the above.

7. RT has some things in common with both Fox and The Onion
Like Fox, its agenda is transparent. Like the onion, it's both funny and and full of parody. Unfortunately, in RT's case, neither are intentional.

8. I went to Fox nation and I see they've pulled the story
Did anybody happen to get there while the story was still up and archive the page?

9. Hah, that Onion article was pretty funny.
I don't know whether or not Faux Nation believed it was actual news, but at least it was a tasteful jab at the president.
