Fox news got spoofed on Taliban monkies story


Gretchen Carlson actually reported the Taliban Monkies story on Fox and Friends:

The war on terror may now involved battling monkeys the Chinese news publication reported that the Taliban is trained monkeys to shoot and kill American soldiers. This particular photo is photo shopped since no real photos have been released. As an incentive to monkeys are being trained using bananas subpoenaed for the secret Taliban base US military or NATO has not commented on reports. That's your money fox Russian Gretchen Carlson -- effort with the morning dose of FOX & Friends 6 AM eastern time break here on Fox News CNN.

Apparently Fox News uses bots to report news. Notice this disclaimer:

Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Perhaps they should hire some real journalists to make judgments on what is really newsworthy.

Even Talk Soup knew the story was a hoax and reported the Fox News Faux Pas last night.
