'Gorilla channel' warfare: Parody book excerpt fools Trump trashers
Fox News ^ | January 5, 2017 | Adam Shaw

One of the most entertaining "excerpts" circulated from Michael Wolff's explosive tell-all was a passage describing President Trump supposedly watching a “gorilla channel” for hours on end.

The excerpt, of course, was a parody and wasn't actually from the “Fire and Fury” book.

But it managed to fool plenty of Trump critics anyway, with an MSNBC contributor and others initially appearing to treat the passage as legit.

The movie Good-bye, Lenin is set in the period around the fall of the Berlin Wall. An East German woman who is a devoted Communist has a stroke just before the collapse of the East German regime and her family decides they must keep the news from her for medical reasons.

Among the things they do is create fake TV news broadcasts designed to look like those on the old East German stations for her to watch.

It's a funny movie.

Really! Trump didn’t even have to tweet to start this.
Someone makes a crazy statement about him and a new industry springs into existence!

It’s truly a beautiful thing.
Is this what the kids call “too much winning?”

That would be pretty bad. But I wonder about people who watch Canadian curling? Sweeping ice with brooms all day.
