Fox Nation “Pic of the Day”: Obama “Goes To Get A Kiss” From Jill Biden As Michelle Obama “Watches”

Fox Nation is a profoundly ridiculous website.

When it first launched, Fox VP Joel Cheatwood described it as a place that was not “going to be limited to die-hard Fox News fans.” Ads touting the site announced that it was “Time to Say NO to Biased Media and Say YES to Fair Play and Free Speech.”

In the intervening 22 months, Fox Nation has revealed itself as a site with even lower standards than its parent network. Fox Nation regularly hosts egregious falsehoods, openly roots for the GOP (see this subtle reporting on the House vote to repeal health care reform last week, for example) and frequently promotes birtherism, much to the delight of their commenters.

Often, it seems that the site exists solely highlight whatever nonsense Jim Hoft and NewsBusters are complaining about on any given day.

Despite their utter lack of standards, they somehow still manage to surprise me with some of the petty, inane “stories” they put on their website. For example, here is today's “Pic of the Day,”asking if Obama was given a “waiver” to kiss Jill Biden in front of Michelle. Why? I don't know.
