60 Minutes on "Fake News"

[ColemanMaskell]

11. It was pretty funny when SNL had Bryan Cranston as Walter White as a Trump nominee for drug czar

but the list isn't about TV satire. The satire sites it lists are things like the Onion and the Borowitz Report.

The Bipartisan Report did have a recent article (that I found only because it was posted here!) claiming that the 8 Supreme Court justices had all just signed a letter together protesting Gorsuch. No, it isn't on a level with Alex Jones; maybe nothing is; but the point is we want to be able to recognize fake news when we see it, and checking the source is one method for investigating likelihood of the story being true. I would not hesitate to quote an article from NYT, Newsweek, or WaPo, but I would want to double-check before posting a link to something in BiPartisan Report or the Burrard Street Journal (a Canadian satire online news site that has some great funny articles: http://www.burrardstreetjournal.com/ but it is designed to look like news and it could mislead someone naive, inexperienced)
