I see that now they're giving credit to The Onion.
The best part is that the article is a fairly funny commentary on Obama.

Looks like they got all embarrassed and removed it. I went to it yesterday and it was presented as an actual news piece.
Faux News it was literally.
The average novel is 50,000 to 100,000 words. You think a journalist would pick up on that.
The original article on that fox page had this link....
Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
Thanks, M. The article is rather amusing. I just wonder why no one on FOX knows that the Onion is a satirical site, posting nothing but made up news.
Contrary to what some would like would like everyone to think, they do..
Fox Nation - Hot headlines, opinions, and video from around the web
Read some of the articles on that page and they link to the original source. Anywhere on the web......even the onion;-)
Thing is, there's nothing to suggest that they didn't know it was satire.
If you look at the original screenshot of the article, it's posted under 'Culture', not 'Politics', or 'News'.
I don't particularly respect Fox, but it's certainly possible that it was posted because it was amusing, then the headline was clarified to mention 'The Onion', then it was removed...quite possibly because people couldn't believe that Fox knew it was satire, and merely posted it because it was amusing.
You're asking people to think outside their myopic ideologies DS, good luck with that.

Since he hasn't even commented on this thread, unfair. As a mod: leave the personal attacks the the door before you walk in.
That's pretty benign for an 'attack'. It's more of a friendly jab. If you want attacks, go check out that disaster of a thread from the Wreck Beach.
Unfortunately all Soetoro is good for is talk. He's the A hole that's been in charge with both houses for 2 years and still managed to make things worse. Never underestimate a liberal's ability to blame their own pathetic record on conservatives. The conservatives aren't much better but at least they force their stupid ideas out and blame liberals for not letting them go far enough. liberals just screw up and pretend they had no choice.
