Fox Nation, Pakistan Lets Me Wear RED, PADDED Bras! (I must be the Devil's Child).

     This might be old news but I recently heard about it and I was appalled ... well, not necessarily appalled, it's an affiliate of Fox News ... but was surprised that Fox could have made this big of an error in judgement and journalistic fact-checking.
     It seems as though the Fox Nation website saw a satire piece about an Islamic council in Pakistan protesting the use of padded and colorful bras for women and mistakenly reported it as fact ...
     Now, as someone who has a background in journalism, not only would have I taken that story with a grain of salt but I would have checked the sources of the story before reporting it as fact. I don't know how the reporter checked out the story but it was reported under the headline, "Pakistan: Islamic Clerics Protest Women Wearing Padded Bras as 'Devil's Cushions.'"
     The story apparently originated from a Pakistani site much like our Onion News Network, called Roznama Jawani, which reports satire news and is currently boasting the headline "New High Tech Fighter Planes Equipped With the F U Bomb" ... Clearly not a reliable news source, if traced back.
     The story has since been pulled from the Fox Nation website but this is a screenshot of the original:

     According to one site, this is not the first time that Fox Nation has reported satire as news. Clearly they just don't seem to get the difference between fact and fiction ... and as a journalist, I'd have to say that is just plain bad, sad actually. That's one of the first things you learn as a journalist ... Get yo' shit straight, in plain English.

     After Fox released the article, Roznama Jawani released this Weekend Special Edition ... Maybe Fox Nation should report on this.
