No, Seriously.
The biggest news over the past 12 hours around the world has been Britain voting to leave the European Union, the “EU.” But not on Fox News, which informed its viewers Friday morning that Britain voted to leave the UN – the United Nations.
“British PM says he will step down. UK votes to leave UN,” the chyron on Fox News read:
The London-based Mirror, which reported the mistake, notes that “the UK has chosen to remove itself as a member state of the European Union, Britain firmly remains a member of the United Nations,” and the “United Nations is made up of 193 countries.”
Fox News is notorious for frequent and repeated “blunders” in its “reporting.”
When Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in 2011, one Fox News affiliate reported, “Obama bin Laden Dead.” Another Fox News anchor told viewers then, “President Obama is in fact dead.“
