In an era of fake news, my favorite two websites right now are The Onion and The Babylon Bee, two news sources that make it their point to create fake news. If you have to be told it-both The Bee and The Onion are fake, they aren't real, they are satire and quite good at it. It shows a lot in our culture when people are so gullible that they can't determine what is fake and what is real when it comes to the news. I've seen so many people post stories from their sights that they believe hook, line and sinker.
And then there are people like me-who take wicked glee in watching people believe fake news. I guess it makes me feel better about myself, which is an obvious character flaw that I have.
