New York – Meaghan Nguyen, a Journalism student at Genesee Community College and intern with Fox News Channel was relieved of her sparse responsibilities yesterday after she released a story that allegedly carried an air of substance.

Citing Fox News’ long tradition of avoiding hard subjects and stories that matter, Brian Lewis, director of communications for Fox News Channel released the following statement to the press:

What we have here is nothing more than an honest mistake, but one that comes at a tremendous price for Americans.  Here at Fox News, we feel it is important for Americans to avoid stories that highlight journalistic integrity.  If it’s important, we feel it’s best to not cover it.  It is regrettable that Ms. Nguyen chose to disrupt this tenet and on behalf of Fox News Channel, I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to those affected by her regrettably honest reporting. As we here at Fox News say, “no important news is good news.”

Nguyen was made unavailable for comment and her segment in question which covered the 60th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions was summarily stricken from the network’s website.
