It’s been over three years since our last edition of “Real or Fake?”, but we’re finally back! Remember, this is the game where you try to determine if a news item is, well, real or fake.
Read the headline, then make your guess. When you click “Answer”, the truth shall be revealed.
Is it Real or Fake?
1. U.S. Senate Candidate Admits to Sacrificing Goat, Drinking Its Blood (Answer)
It’s Real! I simply could not believe this wasn’t the Onion’s spoof of the Catholic congressman who absconded with the Pope’s water glass.
2. California To Allow Prisoners To Serve Sentences Online (Answer)
It’s Fake! But if any state were going to do it, it’d be California.
3. North Korea Envoy Tells UN Rights Forum “Mind Your Own Business” (Answer)
It’s Real! Perhaps North Korea doesn’t realize that world affairs literally are the UN’s business.
5. CNN Anchor Interviews Al Jazeera Anchor Who Interviewed Libyan Rebels (Answer)
It’s Fake, though it’s exactly the sort of crap CNN would do.
That’s it for today, but if you’ve got your own submission, send it over for the next edition!
