It is a recent manifestation in the news threads regarding the preponderance of "fake news" being placed on various social media outlets purporting to be the real thing.
With absences of facts and correct information these various sources appear to have their beginnings on those comedy shows set up as though they were presenting news when in actuality it is farce or satire in 'news clothing' as it were.
I am not really one to fall for a lot of this mess because I make it a point to read multiple outlets and always cross check to those with a veracity level I have investigated over time.
The conclusion I have come to regarding the entirety of "fake news" revolves around the millenials with their 'safe space' and other idiocy. I'm just glad that the generation that will succeed them do not appear to fall for the phony baloney crap which constitutes their existence.
When a generation of burger flippers reproduces and raises children these type of results are about all one may expect.
