Did you hear the one about Obama using his own money to keep a museum dedicated to Muslim culture open during the government shutdown? It's 100% not true, but that didn't stop Fox News from reporting it.


Unfortunately for host Anna Kooiman, the story came from parody news site National Report, and not a legitimate source. Oh, well, some stories are so good you just wish they were true. As a wise person once said, facts are a wish your heart makes, right?


But the incident made Jimmy Kimmel wonder just how gullible the producers over at Fox News really are. Watch the clip to see his pretty accurate spoof of how a lie becomes a breaking news story.
