A satirical news station gets its news from a satirical news site. This should not surprise anyone,after all it IS FOX. As long as it is negative towards Obama, Fox will post it! Fair and balanced my ass!

"The Friday after Thanksgiving can be a slow news day, but that probably doesn't explain Fox News posting a fake Onion story about President Obama alongside its real news stories.

The satirical story, with the headline "The Onion: Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail," appeared in the Fox Nation section of the site Friday.

Beside it was the more serious headline, "China Issues Warning Ahead of U.S.-South Korea Drills."

The original Obama headline didn't mention The Onion, and the only clue for readers was a link to the satirical site after the first two paragraphs of the story."

They're both fake news organizations. I don't see the problem.
