Jeebus -- the word pathetic does not come anywhere near to describing this idiocy:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/06/fox-news-anna-kooiman-obama-parody_n_4053994.htmlFox News host Anna Kooiman fell for a fake story that said President Obama is using his own money to keep a museum dedicated to Muslim culture open during the government shutdown.The government has been shut down since Tuesday. The co-hosts of "Fox and Friends Saturday" lamented the closure of the World War II Memorial, which Kooiman claimed "doesn't seem fair especially" because "President Obama has offered to pay out of his own pocket for the museum of Muslim culture."The fake report came from National Report, a parody news site. The story said that Obama told reporters earlier this week that the shutdown was "a great time to learn about the faith of Islam."
Honestly - how far in the political propaganda bag do you have to be to rush such an obviously bogus story on to the national airwaves? Can anyone imagine the shitstorm of braying and screeching from the right if Brian Williams at NBC or Bob Schieffer at CBS ran with an on-air story claiming that Tea Party darling Ted Cruz was coming out as a Hermaphrodite who was simply ginning up notoriety and publicity in order to pay for a sex-change operation? Yeah - that's what The Gadfly thought.
It goes without saying that bullshit like this, for which Uncle Rupert's Clown Show is famous for, is prima facie evidence for which The Gadfly feels entirely justified at citing when he laughs heartily in the face of anyone who still has the balls to use the words "fair," "balanced," and Fox "News" in the same sentence.
Nonetheless -- this is the freak ideological mentality we are dealing with folks and it truly ought to scare the living shit out of anyone who thinks these people have sufficient mental capacity to govern this country in a sane, responsible and equitable manner.
