The world according to Fox:

[DFW]

At a zoo recently, a little girl broke loose from her parents and got too close to the lion cage. A lion reached through the bars and grabbed the little girl's blouse and tried to pull her in. She was screaming and terrified, but no one dared do anything until a young man hopped over the railing, stuck his arm through the lion cage, and punched the lion right in the face. The big cat was so stunned, he let the girl go for a second, which was all the young man needed to drag her back out of the lion's reach, and back to safety. Her grateful parents were singing the man's praises and everyone was relieved. A Fox "News" reporter happened to be among the onlookers, and joined the crowd in praising the man for his daring and his courage. He asked his occupation and political affiliation. The man said he was a soldier in the US Army, and was a staunch Obama supporter.

The Fox headline about the incident:

"MILITANT OBAMA SUPPORTER ATTACKS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND ROBS HIM OF HIS LUNCH"

1. Great post

The only problem with it is that Faux Noise doesn't care about immigrants.

2. Now THERE is a topic for speculation!

What would Fox value more--a chance to bash Obama, or a chance to ignore immigrants?

By the way, I really hope no one thinks this was a true story!! I wouldn't think so, but the
better you know Fox, the more you wonder if it was a joke or not?

8. They would if it helped them portray Obama negatively

They will use any tool they can to attack him.

Excellent post

4. That's the tactic in a nutshell! nt

6. It's the only reason they would even tell the story

If they can't put a slant on it they wouldn't even bother.

7. I got that from right wing emailing relative

But in that one the soldier was a Republican.

10. I figured each side would use this for its own ends

I transformed my version from one sent to me by a friend in France, in French, and about French politicians.

9. A hungry lion

turned loose in Pox News Hqs. would go a long way toward ridding us of the contagion that poisons minds across America.
Pox News is a disease rooted in the Goebbels Doctrine. It has no place in a decent society.

11. Shit. That is SO close to the truth that my eyes watered from laughter.

12. It's not a good thing when you have to ask yourself if it's a joke or not! n/t

13. You left out that the lion was named Christian.

There. The headline can sound like something from FOX now.
