BUSTED! Fox News Posts Review Of Glenn Beck’s Rally Before It Happens

Fox News promos often tout the network as "The Most Powerful Name In News." Now that power extends into the supernatural as FoxNews.com is caught publishing a story reviewing Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in Washington, DC, the day before it takes place. This demonstration of journalistic clairvoyance may just be a part of the "miraculous" occurrences that Beck promised would take place at tomorrow's historic event. However, despite the obvious scoop that Fox could claim with this pre-porting, the story was quickly removed from the site, but not before I captured this picture of the screen:

3. Pelosi/Ahmadinejad tape?

Please, let's not give them any ideas. Not that they need any, they come up with some doozies on their own.

12. 2 BILLION????? Everyone in the United States plus a big chunk of the rest of the world

attended?

If this isn't a joke, it's proof that Fox is not a news agency, it's propaganda. It should not be permitted to present itself as a news service.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. Psssssssst-

You bin had

[AndyA]

18. I saw that it was parody a few posts down.

Not completely unexpected, however, considering some of Faux's other real flubs in the past. ;)

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Yeah, that's the problem.

There's so much lunacy abroad, particularly in right-wing habitats, that you're hard-pressed to sort out the satire.

[Quantess]

13. You had me going for a minute....

It's that believable!

[Touchdown]

Nice touch! Overall, a very good job (and I love the NewsCorpse link). :rofl:

[denverbill]

21. Remember the Onion parody "Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over"?

Well, that turned out a helluva lot truer than they thought too.

Sadly this parody won't be far off.

[rocktivity]

24. I sure do.

An absolute classic.

:headbang:

[JonLP24]

27. OMG

:wow: :wow:

Dead on!!

[JonLP24]

26. 2 billion??

WTF?

OK--Pelosi tape clued me in. I believed everything included the 2 billion line because I do expect Fox to inflate the numbers. But I do not expect them to be nowhere near that high even for Fox.

[Fearless]

28. Clearly fake... Look at the "Related" bullets. ...For those who didn't get it.

[TBF]

29. Typical, nt
