When satire becomes false information.
FALSE ---> “Bob Woodward Admits He Lied In Anti-Trump Book,” the site “Proudpatriot.us” claimed in an article flagged by Facebook users. <--- FALSE

The article uses an actual quote from Eric Trump during his appearance on Fox & Friends Wednesday, but continues with a fabricated quote falsely attributed to Woodward.

“Don’t you think people look through the fact that you can write a sensational, nonsense book, CNN will definitely have you on there because they love to trash the president,” Eric Trump said, adding that Woodward’s goal was to make some “shekels.”

Woodward has pushed back against President Trump for pointing out that numerous “sources” didn’t even speak to Woodward and have come out to say he was lying in his trash book. But now, he admits he lied.

“There was a lot of guesswork when I was putting this book together and I had to embellish a little,” Woodward admitted in an MSNBC appearance. “I used hundreds of sources, but not all of the information was available.”
Woodward “admitted” no such thing and has only continued to defend the book’s accuracy.

The article originally appeared on the so-called “satirical” blog America’s Last Line of Defense. Proud Patriot, however, bears no indicator that the article (or the site) is satirical/unserious.


This raises the question: What happens when satire becomes misinformation?
