Fox is the Zen Master of misinformation. Yes it does highlight bad journalism, but ultimately, it is up to us to verify that what is being reported is true or not before we comment on it or use it as fact. You have a bunch of comments about how this is from a satire site on the top...obvious made by folks on the left from the snide remarks. Then you have a bunch of righties making comments like "I hope the family sues Al Gore over this" and other forms of extreme stupidity with comments of how it is a satire site peppered in the mix. It's obvious that the righties took the article at face value...since according them it goes from God's mouth to Rush, Glen, and Fox and then to them, didn't go to the full article or examine the contents of the site at all or they would have realized...even the dullest of them...that this is a satire site. I find that to be typical. Fox runs something and the Fox fan club runs with it without researching its veracity or even looking for a few corroborating sources.
