At least the ending where God steals the sacred gay rainbow to use as some sort of right wing symbol is correct.

The fake newscasters at Newspeak couldn’t bring themselves to credit President Trump:

“Fake news” may have been around since ancient times but it’s been getting more exposure of late, receiving “Collins Dictionary Word of the Year” in 2017 after use of the phrase shot up 365 percent on the previous year.

Newsweek is one of the pioneers of fake news. It is not coincidental that it was once sold for $1.00.

With this early episode, set in mythological time, the manipulation of information and language has begun. It may be the earliest ever example of fake news ...

"What a revolting development this is."

Just wondering. Did this tablet say anything like:

"I have a favor I want from you, though. And I'm going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it."

Just wondering.

Newsweek, the publication proffering prevaricating propaganda for Islam after 911, besides other deception, writing about fake news is worse than a paradox.
