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.

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. ;)

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.

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.

26. 2 billion??
Edited on Fri Aug-27-10 08:46 PM by JonLP24
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.
