« Greensboro: The Play | Main | Death of a journalist »

A sad day for fake news

Going, going, gone soon from a checkout counter near you ...

The paragon of made-up "journalism," The Weekly World News, is going out of business, reports The Washington Post.

That means no more stories about Elvis faking his own death or Hillary making it with an alien.

With its circulation dwindling and fake-news junkies going elsewhere for their fix (the Sc-Fi Channel? The Internet?).

Unless they made this one up, too.
