Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media. - Wiki
Example of a hoax: perpetuating the myth that former FLOTUS Michelle Obama is a svelte, pulled together fashion icon of goddess status.
“Michelle Obama literally dazzled at her Barclays Center appearance in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday night to promote her bestselling memoir, Becoming.
The former first lady, who spoke alongside moderator Sarah Jessica Parker, wore a gorgeous, bright yellow gown from Balenciaga’s spring/summer 2019 collection. There’s no doubt that Carrie Bradshaw would covet this outfit.”
No doubt
“Obama’s silk dress featured large sleeves and a massive slit in the front,
which showed off her showstopping, thigh-high boots. The $3,900 stilettos, also from Balenciaga, shimmered in metallic gold.” - Huffpo
I was picturing something a bit more…aquatic:
I didn’t bother to see what was said about her wardrobe on the rest of her “book” tour, but it looked to me to consist primarily of different sets of pajamas and bathrobes:
“She was a boundary-pushing style icon as First Lady too, famously insisting on her sleeveless dresses and inspiring workout routines named after her arms. But, as she writes in Becoming, her self-expression was still largely constricted under the pressure of her former life as the first black First Lady.” - Vice
And then we have another type of fake news which is closer to true propaganda and disinformation. From Vogue, regarding the Trump’s Christmas card photo:
According to the Vogue article, which was written by an unnamed author, the rather wholesome, traditional photo of the First Lady and President Trump "feels so strangely off" while asserting the couple looks "almost like cardboard cutout versions of themselves."
"They are very, very smiley—despite this season of indictments, and the dissolution of their flagrantly fraudulent charity organization," it says. "They are also holding hands, a move that is famously out of character for them. [another false narrative promulgated by fake news]
Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor told Fox News that Vogue's decision to make the author anonymous was an act of cowardice. "Notice how no one at Vogue was brave enough to put their name on this utter piece of garbage? This isn’t journalism, its crap. It belongs in the same sewer that Vogue inhabits," he said. "Major media have done more to discredit legitimate journalism than anything their critics -- even Donald Trump -- could ever do." - Fox
So, to be clear, according to Fake News this is hot:
…and this is not:
So who are you going to believe, Fake News or your lyin’ eyes?
Yellow journalism,
“The optics of looking fresh to death are clearly not lost on Obama…her bold fashion choice on Wednesday made sense in a book tour that's largely about the politics of expressing yourself.”
or the simple truth of a golden goddess?
I’m going with gold.
And I don’t want to hear any complaints, I warned you in the title.
P.S. Is it any wonder that every publication at Condé Nast, including Vogue is going down the crapper?

LOL
The outfit suits her. Ugly in and out.
She dresses to the left.
There it is...proof of Russian collusion!
Is sad the media hates America enough to spread lies continuously. Is doubly sad the media promotes death to America and Americans while idolizing and seeking favoritism for law breakers. Mooch and those of her ilk would be better suited in an orange jump suit. Imho
If that is all it was, I would find it distasteful. But the media has always treated Michelle as if she is the second coming of Jackie O. Passing her off as a fashion icon is just more fake news.
Mooch looks like she is auditioning to be the next Morton’s Salt model
LOL. DAMN...you owe me a new keyboard. ;)
More illegals, means more uninformed voters, means more Democrats. The cities need more Democrat voters, to promote a Socialist government. Media workers are city dwellers, who have jumped on the Socialist bus. The Socialist propaganda beat must go on.
Yep that is their plan or at least most of their plan
You mean the caboose?
It’s less about their respective looks than it is about the fake media narrative that you CAN make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
Michelle,
This trendy look is for 20-somethings, not 50 year olds. There are much better choices for a person of our age to wear that are lovely and age-appropriate.
Stop looking in your daughter’s closet for inspiration. And please remember, glitter on clothing is for little girls, not grown women.
Melania,
You are truly a style icon! I hope women all over the country look to you for their inspiration.
I’d wondered the same thing. I checked, last night, and they go up to a size 12. She must have to go with ‘designers’ whose sizes go up that high. Either that, or who will make a (larger) custom size, for her.
There has to be large sized women’s shoes out there. Trannies seem to know where to find them. Right?
You guys are bad. Correct, but bad.
That is a very big, and I do mean "big," myth. She is genuinely ugly inside and out. She is mean, petty, and angry. You can see it in her face. Even when she is smiling, there's an undertone of "I smell s**t" about her expression. She is fundamentally an unhappy person, and she is taking it out on the world for whatever perceived wrongs there are that drive her.
Physically, she might be some guys' (and perhaps girls') type, but I don't see it. Her appearance, features, the way she carries herself, and her choices in clothing {shudder} - let's just say I don't know if it is possible to find less flattering choices. On the proverbial 0-10 scale I would quite honestly give her a 2 on her best day.
+1
...he former first lady...wore a gorgeous, bright yellow gown from Balenciaga’s spring/summer 2019 collection...
With the usual extra added area to accommodate her extremely large, out of proportion posterior.
