Fake or genuine? “Gerbils evolved from birds.”
It started a few years ago, with some outfit named “Oobatz” trying to horn in on Acme False Facts’ domination of the false facts market.
Well, it’s only gotten worse–because now we’ve got the government involved.
In an underwater press conference, the CEO of Acme False Facts Inc. lamented, “One expects a certain level of background lying from the government. No one bothers to mention it. But lately it’s gotten so bad, we just can’t compete. Oobatz, come back, all is forgiven!”
Not that the government’s the only one trying to grab a big chunk of the market. There’s also the nooze media. “The Washington Post captured an army of our customers,” said Acme’s CEO, “with that story about Donald Trump owning slaves.”
One of Trump’s great contributions during his presidency besides 3 Pro-Life/Constitutionalists was the phrase “Fake news.” We need a national debate between scientists’ Climate Change advocates and those scientists who say it all a hoax. Whatever happened to true debates? Don’t colleges still have debate teams.
Haven’t you heard? “The science is settled! Now give us your money and your freedom.”
