Iranian News Agency Copies The Onion, Says


Posted: Sep 28, 2012

Okay, this one's good. The Onion satirized the lies put out by a lot of far-right rags by reporting a phony poll, which I Iranian FNA mistook for a real story and reported as the truth. From gizmodo.com:

"Gallup Poll: Rural Whites Prefer Ahmadinejad to Obama

TEHRAN (FNA)- According to the results of a Gallup poll released Monday, the overwhelming majority of rural white Americans said they would rather vote for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than US President Barack Obama.

"I like him better," said West Virginia resident Dale Swiderski, who, along with 77 percent of rural Caucasian voters, confirmed..."

FLASHBACK: 1980: Lib Hero Jimmy Carter Bans Iranian Immigration To U.S. (ABC NEWS)Jan 29, 2017
While Trump’s executive action marks a significant shift in decades of U.S. immigration policies, it isn't the first time the U.S. has restricted immigration from specific countries.

Onion Fingers SmellDec 15, 2014
Wish we had a food board, because on the gab board things get kind of heavy, but for anyone interested: Hubby and I chop onions all the time and have trouble removing the smell from our fingers, no matter what we do with soap and water.

It's not perfect, because the onion smell gets under the nails, but it sure takes the edge off. Just wet your h ...

Obama's Message To The Iranian PeopleMar 20, 2015
Obama spoke directly to the leaders and people of Iran and admits Michelle helped mark Nowruz at the White House and pleads with the people to speak up. Yeah, right. Like they can speak up.

Obama Agency Rules Pepsi's Use Of Aborted Fetal Cells In Soft Drinks - Business As UsualMay 08, 2012
I heard about the story of smuggled capsules of human flesh made in you know where.  As if finding out they eat eggs cooked in urine of small boys was not enough to make me gag.  So, then found that Pepsi uses fetal cells as a flavor enhancer (at least that's my understanding of the article - could be wrong of course).  Then I read that Obama's administration said it's okay to use aborted fetus in Pepsi.  Again, maybe I read that wrong.  Either way, never ...
