The Fox Nation headline yesterday: Global Warming Activist Freezes to Death in Antarctica.

This caused much chortling among Fox News fans, who left comments like this:

  • I'm sorry but this is about the funniest thing I've ever read!! Talk about what comes around goes around!!!!!!!!!! Ya get what you ask for – this has it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Thank you FOX I needed that. This is delicious just goes to show what elitism and arrogance will do to you if you use it on mother nature.
  • Somehow or another, the liberal media and Al Gore will spin this and blame it on global warming. Not sure how they'll do that but it will be interesting to find out.
  • I GUESS THESE BRILLIANT SCIENTISTS DIDNT HAVE BIG NANNY TO TELL THEM TO PUT ON A COAT
  • In a world of constant bad new's, finally a story we can all read and laugh about. Truelly this is the greatest story of the year.
  • It's stories like this that make me appreciate God's infinite wisdom, and sense of humor.
  • Just goes to show you how easy the left is duped. Only a dumb@$$ would do this in the d.e.a.d of winter………….
  • I can't stop laughing….. I need a great laugh this morning.

    Slight problem.

    Fox News picked up the story from a satire news site (much like The Onion) and passed it on as fact.  The satrical piece is about four years old.

    Snopes sets the record straight.
