This section got far too huge as the news media continues to
degenerate into farce! I’ve had to split it up into two sections:
- News Trolls: Inside Jobs —
Mischief-minded reporters and April Fooling news rooms printing all
the news that gives you fits: Monkeyfishing, Stephen Glass, Janet
Cooke, Jack Kelley, Jayson Blair, Paul Maliszewski, Lester Green,
the Spaghetti Harvest, Edgar Allan Poe, H.L. Mencken and Michael
Born
- News Trolls: Trolling from
Outside — How pranksters like “Arm the Homeless”
fool the media into reporting fake news: Clone hoaxes, Falun Gong
satellite hacking, the Monkey Man, the Dole Army, Rick Mercer, Brass
Eye, Harry Reichenbach, Crass, the famous token negro of Wisconsin,
government disinformation campaigns, Joey Skaggs, Alan Abel and
Heywood Jablome
