‘Rural whites prefer Ahmadinejad to Obama’: Iranian news agency reports satirical Onion poll as fact
An Iranian news site Friday re-posted poll results from the satirical news site, The Onion, that claimed, that “rural white Americans said they would rather vote for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than U.S. president Barack Obama.”

Fars News Agency, Friday, posted the made-up Gallup poll verbatim as if it was a legitimate news story, but did not attribute The Onion as the source.

Ah, The Onion makes people cry in more ways than one.

For example, I’m laugh crying.
