There was a time that this was the second busiest shopping day of the year, as everyone went back to the stores to return the gifts that they didn’t like or that didn’t fit. This year, it’s projected to be the eighth busiest shopping day of the year.
No, Really, We’re Talking about Literal ‘Fake News’
One more major journalistic scandal before the year closes out:
Der Spiegel has announced that it will press charges against a former star reporter accused of systemically faking interviews and articles, in what might be the biggest journalism scandal in Germany since another newsmagazine published fake Hitler diaries 35 years ago…
On Saturday night, the magazine announced in one of the many articles documenting Mr. [Claas] Relotius’s misdeeds that the editors would be filing a criminal complaint against him after it emerged that he had set up a private donation drive ostensibly to help two Syrian orphans that he had profiled.
According to Der Spiegel, only one of the two orphans exists, and the aid money went to the reporter’s private bank account.

That is especially true of the authors of fake news.
Or, the willful ignorance of woke lemmings. I’ve been mentioning this for years. Nice to have confirmation ;)
It's so bad that we no longer even talk...relationships going back 60 years are gone.
But then again, they are like zombies now, so what the hell.
In other news, water is wet. Film at 11.
The proof is in the pudding.
How good a friends could they be if they no longer talk to you? You were under an illusion that they were your friends.
And as for family, my wife's uncle says, "They ain't no kin of mine."
You're better off without them. Life goes on.
I call this fake news.

But the fake news generators still bear the brunt of the responsibility. Especially organizations that call themselves news instead of satire or propaganda.

People believe in Purgatory and the perpetual virginity of Mary for the same reason.
That said, I believe you are right. It's a shame, but good riddance.

What a horrible, convoluted piece of crap article.
The author is nearly as bad as the German “fiction writer” and NR’s editors as well.
Pathetic.
They are lazy and have an attention span of about 20 seconds, long enough to form an opinion given to them without having to think
hahaha!!!!! stealing that!
Sounds like he's running Das Clinton Foundation.
“People believe in Purgatory and the perpetual virginity of Mary for the same reason.”
That is probably the absolute worst analogy posted on this forum in the 14 years I’ve been here....Congratulations.
Is “men feeding fat women” a meme? It’s the second one I’ve seen on FR in the past day.
