Fox Foul Spelling Of Fowl

Front of U.S. Capitol Closed Off After 30 Foul Found Dead

That's a headline on the FOXNews website along with the following story.

U.S. Capitol Police closed off a swath of territory in front of the U.S. Capitol late Friday after some 30 birds and ducks were discovered dead in the reflecting pool in front of the Capitol.

Capitol Police Chief Phil Morse told FOX News it appears the water in the reflecting pool was somehow over-chlorinated.

Tests were being run and police were keeping people and vehicles away from the West front of the Capitol.

D.C. Fire was also assisting with the situation. The dead foul were discovered around 10:30 ET.

Where does the media find these people who don't know the difference between fowl and foul and seem to think ducks are not birds?

UPDATE: Fox, without explanation changes the story to this:

FBI Investigating Dead Fowl in Front of U.S. Capitol

The FBI is investigating what may have caused a dozen ducks to die in a large reflecting pool in front of the U.S. Capitol.

A swath of territory in front of the Capitol was closed late Friday after the findings.

Tests were being run and police were keeping people and vehicles away from the West front of the Capitol.

FOX News has learned there were reports of a strange odor in the air around the same time the dead fowl were discovered around 10:30 ET.

Nearby sidewalks had been undergoing improvements.
