Almost as funny as the article that says 11 states have garnered over 25,000 signatures each to seceed from the union. I am still laughing at that one.

Whats the bg deal, millions of Americans believe what Fox noise put out...

Yes, he was making something we refer to as a "joke." Geez.

your butt is still hurting, eh seldom?

Yeah B (probably add the "itch" after the "B") from D ( guess you could at a "ick" after that "D") why would people get sick of a Federal government that signs the Patriot act, does warrant-less wiretapping on its citizens, sends in jack booted thugs to terrorize and shut down medical marijuana dispensaries, uses tax money to blow up innocent people in other countries, keep our soldiers in countries where we don't have a vested interest etc. Why would people want to secede from that. Idiot.

Almost as funny as the article that says 11 states have garnered over 25,000 signatures each to seceed from the union. I am still laughing at that one.

Uhm, it's true. The Texas petition has now garnered over 100,000 signatures. On the flip side, there is another one from the City of Austin that says it will secede from Texas and remain with the USA if the Texas one actually happens. Seriously. The petiitions are real. Not that I think anything will come of it, but they are real.

So let Texas secede. Most of the Texas oil money sleeps with Arab Nations anyway. AND THEN... We could kick the Cowboys out of the NFL... lmao

.

Liberals hate Fox because it is the only mainstream media that doesnt suck off you libs.

You cant take opposing viewpoints so you just call it false, racist, sexist, etc. Then you call conservatives fear mongers. lol

And your point MrBurnt is?

I love his "Gangnam Style" video ....

Someone get the paddles - - I think Mr.Burns is about to have a grabber --- relax you false, racist, sexist fear monger

No mr burns, liberals hate Fox because it's lies are destroying this nation. Since you obviously hate America and don't care if Fox lies as long as your communitst Republican party wins then why don't you just hop on the next bus to Juarez with the rest of the secession losers because you ain't taking Texas or any other state out of the Union to form your little whites-only corporate hell hole.

You guys shouldn't be poking fun at the leader of one of our allies and friends, Remember, Sarah Palin saying that NK was our ally? Now, THAT was funny.

MrBurns - Fox News is "mainstream" only in its fevered, delusional dreams. It's a propaganda tool for the reactionary, theocratic, fanatical lily-white good-old-boy elite of millionaires and the sheeple who swallow the feces they spout from their pie-holes. I'd believe the most outlandish headline in The Onion before I would anything to come out of Faux Noise. (In other countries, the network would not be allowed to identify themselves as a "news" outlet, since it's all biased commentary, not objective reporting.)

deprogrammer is exactly what I mean. rich69 is obviously just confused so ill leave him alone.

Lets see, Fox is as far away from Communism as possible. They are for the free market and free speech, which does not go well with Communism or Obama for that matter. How is Fox destroying our nation more than MSN, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc. Its simply because they dont hang onto Obamas every word like he is Jesus reborn. Notice how all the other news stations ran nothing on Bengazi once the truth came out, yet they ran numerous articles on Binders of women and Big Bird. The bias from the media to the left is really quite apparent. Its not all how you report on something, but rather what you report on. They leave numerous stories out of their print if it makes liberals look bad. Fox got @!$%# for questioning Bengazi before we knew that we were lied to because random rebels dont have armored cars. Let me direct you to these:

That last one is the real kicker. All the other stations are so far to the left that Fox seems far right by comparison. Yet it is consistantly one of the least biased main stream channels in its news reporting. Sure people like Beck and Hannity are morons, but there are far more liberal morons on MSNBC, ABC, CNN, etc. Why do you think Fox's ratings are the highest? If all the media is to the left, people who dont buy into their BS will look for a more right leaning channel. And yes, I agree Fox leans to the right, but not nearly as much as the others lean to the left.

I dont see how supporting Fox means I hate America. More fear mongering from libs.

I am not a republican. Im a liberal leaning libertarian but find the lies from the left to be getting rediculous. I hated Romney, but he was a way better option than 4 more years of failed policies.

I dont want to secede. And it wouldnt work since I live in California, not Texas or any other state in the south. Living in California teaches you how horrible liberals are when it comes to finance. My state is going broke thanks to our unions and relying on the rich for tax money. Sound familiar?

I dont work for a corporation, I work for a small business and have grown up middle class my whole life from a father who went from a working class construction to a teacher.

And while I do have some white in me, I am also hispanic. Kind of comes with the territory living in Cali.

So again, liberals must resort to racist lies, made up fallacies, calling republicans communists, because they have absolutely nothing to run on in their hatred of Fox.

Congrats deprogrammer, you are one of the most ignorant people I've seen on these boards.

Have a cookie.

fascisthater,

And you base that on what exactly. Any study that I've seen on media bias has Fox less biased than any other mainstream channel, except ABC at times. When the rest of the media is in bed with the left, its easy to say Fox is too far right. Stop being ignorant and actually look at facts. Look how the channels treat Obama with soft ball questions every time he comes on. Hell, O'Reilly has been harder on some conservatives than many liberal shows at times. Ill give you Hannity and Beck as morons, but you guys have far more morons on each of the other stations.

Keep living in your made up world, while Fox continues to dominate in viewers.

NBC took out all my links, suprise suprise.

But ill direct you to look it up from Pew, Gallup, Forbes, etc.

Exactly! What other "news organization" has to rpeatedly "remind" their viewesr that the programming is "Fair and Balnce" or even "The News" -- Please consider the source. None of these "host" have even held down a real job and many never graduated college! How can they be expert in subjects they have no education in!? No matter what yo might think of the shows on MSNBC -- They are "hosted: by people with actual educaton, knowledge and/or experience in the subjectds they speeaking about. No one on these shows claim to be the "News" and all are openly presented as the opintion of their host --It is their view of the news of the day -- FOX gives their view and them claim it is FACT, quoting themselves to support their own agrument. And accusing others of the very crimes they themselves are committing!

Burnsie - It must be a liberal conspiracy that they took out all your links it certainly isn't because no links are allowed in the posts - no way - they're after you
... the first step is to admit to yourself that you need help then you can be helped ... or is that too liberal for you?

Liberal bias across the majority of mainstream news media is undeniably present. Just because Fox is blatantly conservative (to a fault) doesn't automaticallly validate everything the other side (i.e. MSNBC, et al) produces. I constantly see this logic applied on these message boards.

10 years ago a guy named Bernard Goldberg wrote a book called Bias: A CBS Inside Exposes How the Media Distort the News. Became a #1 NYT bestseller; great read. But I suppose it can't be true because Goldberg now works for Fox... he did attend and graduate from college, though.

Rob, again they are fair and balanced when compared to any other main stream media channel. You kind of just skipped everything that I wrote, didnt you Rob. Sounds like a liberal to me. And you know of all their graduation records and job records? Please enlighten me.

Didnt know that Steve Illinois. Thank you for clearing that up. Look, you helped me without me admitting that I needed it. Kind of makes your insult look rediculous.

Now this thread is funnier than wanna be gangnam style in the Onion. Besides the chinese thinks small teeties is beautiful what's new.

At least The Onion owns up to being a spoof.

There are so many opinions shows that masquerade as new shows whoialso get picked up as serious news feeds.

Satire is the only way to best look at ourselves. Regular media and news always has an agenda.

Jon Stewart and the Onion always speak the truth!!!!

Reality has a Liberal Bias. Also, Reality has a Comic Bias. China's reporters made a fair mistake. After all those people in the red states and some blue actually signed petitions to secede from the union. Reality has a Comic Bias.

ROFLMAO

Have to admit that China's reaction to The Onion farce was the best laugh I have had in a long time. I thought it was hysterical. Thank you, Onion.

It only serves to prove that, no matter how N.Korea and Iran bash us, they always read our stuff!!! LOL Thank heaven for the as-yet misunderstood Western humor. It still allows us to get a few laughs from those who misunderstand it.

Part of my job requires me to stay on top of this subject. The article you have written has been beneficial in my research.

This is funny. Funnier still that there most of the posting here were not even about the subject article here but instead by quickly dissolved into meaningless attacks on the duly re-elected President of the Unites States (and attacks on Fox News or one of the more mainstream news organizatons ) very few here ben spoke to the point of the piece -- the Chinese "falling' for a spoof piece -- To me that is the more surprising thing -- I would have thought that the North Keoreans, thenselves would have fall for it and "picked it up and ran with it" -- not the China media. I have actually visited China within the last 2 years -- and many of the people I encounterd there (given their government and all things considered) seemed to be fairly "aware" -- and are quite mindful of their image and new economic situation both within the country and on the world stage. The Chinese are not that dumb -- and actually make fun of the North Koreans -- who are consider the "butt" of their jokes -- I suspect that many of the Chinese may have actually got the joke --

Rich he made his point quite well,

Now I understand that Kim picked up on the article and that is all the rage in NK he is considering a shirtless photo shoot, maybe even a few shots of him in a G string one with him on a horse and the other passing a football to Mini Mouse. now that he is the new standard for Asian Man he may even turn out a counterfeit Gangnam video to raise money to feed his people. this is a new dawn for North Korea. and to think it all started with the Onion.

Now THAT is funny!

The Chinese did not fire any rockets that explosed or fell into the sea - that would be the North Koreans -- but guess you can not tell the dofference -- mores the pity.

They (North Korea) were going to shoot another rocket anyways just as soon as they got another mini fridge to attach to it so they could claim its a satellite. they never figured out that every time the door opens in flight it throws the rocket off course. they should put a little peasant inside to hold the door shut.

nun ya

Might want to check where your stuff is made first before making such a comment.

And yet you continue to read and post on their site...

And yet you continue to read and post on their site...

Well, yeah. All the good stories aren’t on Onion. Often the “serious” NBC stories are almost as funny as what you see on Onion! So, you got to look at NBC once in a while to be sure you did not miss anything good.

Love that the idiot Republican Congressman fell for the most ridiculous onion gag.

Oh, the 57 states thing again? Still can't recognize a joke when you hear it?

Um, Hi Folks, Piss, Rob,

I'd kind of forgotten about the "57 states", thing, but for the record this is the way I remember it.

Then Candidate Obama was stating that he had made 57 campaign stops in so many days. Yup, a genuine gaff! Kind of like slipping up and saying you go to church 8 days a week when you meant to say that you go 8 times a week (twice on Sunday or what ever).

Normally, your kids and your spouse tease you for a few weeks, but your jealous neighbor Loki will be babbling on about this 40 years from now at the nursing home. Kind of sad, huh?

Yeah, this was not the most intelligent thing the man has ever said. But, well, if this is all that you've got,
(remember, also this gaff happened almost five years ago),
Go get it guys! Tear that old shoe to bits!

Or better yet, get a life.

Anyone remember when NBC airs that Schwarzenegger was planning to blow up the moon. They were listening to a impersonator on the Howard Stern show and then Joe Scarborough got on his MSNBC tv show and started going off on Schwarzenegger. Pretty hilarious

Then Candidate Obama was stating that he had made 57 campaign stops in so many days

Nice try maninjapan.... but bad memories die hard. He was defintely quoted as saying he had probably visited ALL 57 states on his campaign! Perhaps your life needs a change in direction.... eh?

That's how it goes New Gawker, Sarah Palin get's credit for what came out of Tina Fey's mouth!

Could be Ben,

But do you really think that The President doesn't know how many states there are?
Or that your neighbor (or the Beatles) really think(s) that there are eight days in a week?
Does that make you feel smarter than he/they we is/are? And for what ever reason does that make it
easier for you to deal with the fact that Mr. Obama is President, and McCain, Romney or you yourself are not?

Or, does this prove that or President is in fact
an implanted "fake American", cleverly disguised with a common,
everyday, corn-fed, all American name like, "Barak Hussein Obama"
Oh yeah and he's bi-ricial, born in a year when some of our states still out-lawed inter-racial marriage.

What ever dude, if it makes you feel better, I'll repeat myself

Go get it fellah! Tear that old shoe to bits!

Or better yet, get a life.

Hi Fender!

Actually what was so brilliant about Ms Fey's performance, was that she mostly repeated Candidate Palin's comments word for word and in context. I was wonder if she had to pay royalties!

if you read the original article you will see that it was about the Chinese reporting about a spoof on the Mini Me in Korea. Then read all these articles about it and it turns into left VS the right again. Someday we will find out that we are the real joke, when we can no longer compete in the world market, and this great country will disappear as did the Roman Empire. So keep fighting, and stick to your sides, don't worry about silly things like fixing the budget, lowering the dept, getting people weened off social programs and getting them back in the work force, stopping employers hiring illegal workers so they can have higher profits, the unpaid taxes from the so called underground economy. That's right, just keep blaming the other side, do worry congress knows how to fix it they surely have our best interest at heart.

HI Chris,

Yes this article was about a Chinese newspaper getting it all wrong.

But the other Onion article was about certain Americans being so angry about
Barak Obamas candidacy that they would vote against their own better interests.
I think recounting memorable, relevant favorites from the Onions pages is fair game.

Part of the beauty of any joke is to know who the real target of the joke is. If the humor is "over your head" you do not truly get the joke. Many here don't seem to get the joke -- or don't realize the diiferecw, Some are taking the joke as serious and/or take the truth as a joke. The dfiference between the Onion and MSNBC is that the fomer is often better written than the latter. The difference betwenn the Onion and FOX News and that the Onion is better FICTION writngn and most of the readers get the joke -- with FOX the joke is on the viewers -- while the "on-screen talent" and media owners there are laughting all the way to the bank.

Stupid is as stupid does, stupid people will believe anything even a story to cover up a mistake, now why should he (Mr O) have to know how many states there are he was raised in Indonesia, His Father is from Kenya, and his Step Father is from Indonesia, he is the right man for the times he will see to it that Africa and Indonesia will get a good slice of the pie we call America before the rest of it is handed to the ME and Latin America, as for the American people you get to buy a new pie, make it a cream pie because you wont be able to afford to bake it.

Sunday I watched and compared both Fox and MSNBC they are equal in there own right, they should both be asked to get off the air. they are just as screwed up as their listeners, they are the wings on the wing nut. if you listen to one your brainwashed to their thinking and same with the other, that is part of the problem in society today the best thing people can do is kick the addiction and start thinking for themselves don't watch ether one and see how you feel in a year. the Onion should be required reading, it might put things in their proper perspective. never underestimate the power of the media, they can go as far as to get you to attack your neighbor, the past century proves how people can be manipulated, mind control is a very real thing, that is what these two outlets are up to, thank god for the rational people in the middle unfortunatelythey are a shrinking mass. its no longer the pendulum swaying its scales tipping, that is harder to fix.

Think the Polls will flip on the 21st?

I think the country got 'Onioned' by reelecting the worse president in history! We've all been f'd, but only 48% of us know it!

Here's the punch line.... In 2016 our welfare rolls will be larger and unemployment will be higher than it is today! (I will offer 10 to 1 odds on each.

Obama is making sure everyone who becomes dependent on big Gov't will want to stay dependent, further cementing the DNC's hold on the majority.

HI Cross,

I know that this is late, but well, here goes. A lot of folks (self included) would say that maybe you should take
Fox News with a grain of salt.

Sure they tell us that The President is trashing the country, but then again, they also told you that Romney was Trashing Obama. I guess come 2016, we'll see.

Kind of like Obama telling the Bush war machine that he didn't believe the WMD Hype, and couldn't support the war in Iraq. Turns out he was right, and Fox an Bush were wrong. Maybe this time things will be reversed. But considering the record, I kind of doubt it.

Chris, that's right I knew this story seemed familiar! Guess it's a slow newsday for NBC.

LOL, I was thinking about that as I was scanning the comments,

In other words "what the h#ll do you mean? It was on the INTERNET!"

Or humor. (Mock us and we will cut off your humor gland.)

It is becoming quite clear that totalitarian regimes really do not understand sarcasm. :-D

Which explains why a Republican congressman from Louisiana also fell for an Onion article.

With all the hate from the right directed towards Obama it doesn't really seem all that unbelievable.

I would hope that some of the citizens there have access to the Internet.

Very limited, Silverrob. Read

Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China

Wikipedia...

But hey! Even look where they have unlimited internet access. They still believe Fox "News".

ROFLMAO

HAHAHAHHAHAHA! Do you have any idea just how many non-Americans accuse *us* of being clueless about anything aoutside our country? As my parents would say, "that's the pot calling the kettle black"...

Curious,

The difference is we can go outside the US to other news medias and stories. If I wanted to, I could read a newspaper from China, Iraq, Iran, Europe, Africa, etc. The N. Koreans and Chinese greatly censor their media so their populace is left in the dark. There will be knuckleheads who just believe their media, but many of us can choose to read a variety of news cites to form our own balance opinion.

Don't bother. The percentage of these idiots who know anything about China, or anything else, for that matter, is miniscule.

Be careful what you wish for. Its already been shown they have no filter for sarcasm.

Hopefully not the same person who taught you spelling.

On the other hand, do you know anyone who reads people magazine? I don't, so their sexiest man or woman of the year doesn't phase me.

If you consider Onion to be a joke, How much more so People's Magazine...

The different is that Onion considers ITSELF to be a joke.
