Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
This is ridiculous! FOX has finally sunk to a new low. But for some reason, this is funny!

Beyond disgusting.
Is there ever a sense of shame there?

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
yeah, pretty stupid of fox to do that. i'd be interested in seeing the context, however. they could've simply been covering what some other media outlet/website/politician/whatever had said.

The question mark means that they're reporting and letting you decide. It's very fair and balanced of them.

It's not even a coincidence, anyway.
But not in the way they mean.

Isn't there a bounty on the head of Bin Laden? (By transitive property, this is calling for a hit. Subliminally, at least.)

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
Once again I am amazed that it is still legal for Fox to call itself an unbiased news source. Why their tongues don't leap out of their mouths for continually telling such lies is beyond me.

There really aren't any US based TV news networks. They are all "entertainment services" these days. You have to look overseas to find anything approaching decent.

The MR rogers one looks like it could be fake to me, but the bin laden one looks like it could be real.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
Part of the point of the joke is that it's completely believable.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
I'll admit that I was duped. But as user said, it's completely believable.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
So is it believable because they actually do this all the time or because you believe all the other faked images and bought this one too?

The one I posted is real. I have seen others, not clips but broadcast, such as "Are Democrats trying to destroy the economy?" "Zarqawi thinks U.S. winning in Iraq - Democrats say we're losing. Who do you trust?"
So no, it's not unreasonable to believe the fakes.
