    This Story from 2019 really hits the nail on the head...
    How the news killed April Fools' Day
    We live in an age that is impossible to parody. There are no jokes, pranks or japes that could possibly be more ridiculous than our present day goings on and stories that were once the stuff of practical jokes are now spread as sincere by online provocateurs

    https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/april-fools-day-fake-news
    So, as we approach April 1st...
    DON'T get caught spreading ridiculous fake news...
    And, always remember:
    There is No Greater SELF-Own (at a discussion forum like PF) than to get caught posting a thread based on which is (obviously) an April Fool's Joke as "Real News...
    Beware...
    PS--Just b/c Breitbart said that Bigfoot is Marrying MTG...
    Doesn't mean that Bigfoot Isn't REALLY Marrying MTG...

    Too late, at least for the Texas State Legislature where the Speaker got pranked with, shall we say, very funny, but obnoxious, in a kind way, names, and their comments.

    Trump is a Russian asset!
    Biden is totally innocent of any official misconduct or criminal misdeeds.

    Why not? Fake news is spread every single day in our country?

    Are you suggesting a non fake news day?

    Could you find a news organization willing to spread REAL news on this particular day?
