Fox News Accidentally Uses Photo of Same-Sex Couple to Illustrate Article About the Importance of Heterosexual Marriage
Atop yet another typical Fox News article espousing the merits of heteronormativity sits a decidedly atypical sight: A photo of the same-sex couple who made headlines last year for being the first same-sex couple to get married at the Empire State Building. "Being equal in worth, or value, is not the same as being identical, interchangeable beings," writes Suzanne Venker, author of How to Choose a Husband and Make Peace with Marriage. Of course, she's talking about her belief that women should stop trying to compete with men and just give in to the fact that they were put on earth to be a wife and mother and nothing more. But looking at the photo of Stephanie Figarelle and Lela McArthur lovingly sharing their first kiss as a legally married couple, you can't help but smile. http://gawker.com/5982945/fox-news-accidentally-uses-photo-of-same+sex-couple-to-illustrate-article-about-the-importance-of-heterosexual-marriage

2. Does Faux News do ANY research?
|
Or was this intentional to draw some attention to their story? Could they really be that incompetent?
Oh, sorry, what was I thinking.  |

10. They appear severely challenged in this area, and can't use Google properly. Two examples:
|
They reported German's solar industry is better than ours, because Germany has more sunshine than the USA. They didn't use the Google, but it's what their owners wanted aired:
When they do use the Google, they were unable to read the caption and realize their example wasn't straight. OTOH, they could be mocking their viewers. I think they're making fun of them... |
