Beijing Newspaper Spoofed by The Onion

    FOX news is just using this as a play for credibility I'm sure.

    FOX News Manager: Is there anyone that screws up as bad as we do?

    Reporter: Well this China newspaper reported a parody story as true...

    Manager: That's great! It'll make us look like a real news outlet compared to them, lets milk this like a presidential scandal.

    Reporter: I'm on it. I think I'll interview random Slashdotters first.
