International News Outlets Stymied by Satire

Have you ever been accused of being a bit gullible or have you perhaps cut a corner in researching sources you rely on in your business? Well, you are not alone! Onion Taken Seriously, Film at 11 by Daniel Terdiman shows how even the most credible news organizations have been taken in by humorous satire. The article explores snafus that international media outlets have made when they didn't research their sources thoroughly.The Onion, a US satirical newspaper, prints outlandish stories that are tongue in cheek. Read how those not familiar with the publication have made the mistake of quoting it and relying on it for credible news. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,63048,00.html?tw=wn_culthead_7
