FOX "News" Reporter Becomes Onion News "Reporter" A FOX News reporter is now covering the fake news for the Onion News Network. It's not exactly ironic, but it's certainly something that some might say resembles irony.

Wait...are you telling me that someone on fox news had a sense of humor? a conscience?

I concur on the sense of humor, but heaven help us if The Onion is our societal organ of demonstrable conscientiousness!


Just leaving a multimedia group should be enough, ordinarily; but, sorry Tin Man, joining with another does you no favors in gaining a heart.

I agree with you as well. I see leaving a paid gig at Fox as a conscientious act, the Onion is just a delightful twist.

This is great, because a.) the story actually makes a joke about something that Fox News people actually think makes the president unqualified and b.) it's done much more funnily than anything Fox News' comedy shows ever could, but for the Onion it's just meh.
