Out-FOXxed

First, FOX News posted fake quotes -- placeholders -- from a Carl Cameron script as actual John Kerry quotes. Now those sly news gurus took a parody for the real thing -- "Communists for Kerry."

From the FOX News website (bottom of linked article): "In a version of this article that was published earlier, the Communists for Kerry group was portrayed as an organization that was supporting John Kerry for president. FOXNews.com's reporter asked the group's representative several times whether the group was legitimate and supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman insisted that it was. The Communists for Kerry group is, in fact, a parody organization."

"Communists for Kerry" is really the creation of the Hellgate Republican Club.

Can't wait to see them rewriting articles from The Onion.
