ESPN once ran a segment where Steve Phillips (former Mets GM but then ESPN analyst) gave "press conferences" pretending to be the GM of various MLB teams, discussing the "team's plans". It was bizarre.

Russian dossier is second to Charles Jaco in Iraq.

Dan Rather on Bush is third.

Honorable mention goes to the SIdd Finch story in Sports Illustrated.

When it was proven that CNN was actively trying to rig debates for Hillary. At that point, no one could honestly argue that they aren't very fake news.

I'd go with ole Nate's 95% Clinton, 5% Trump posting the day before the election. And yes, to all wanting to argue numbers and physics and shite - it was still fake news unless he polled every swinging dick in America to come up with those percentages. Being that wrong is just being fake.

Trump getting a golden shower was pretty entertaining. Krewe Du Vieux has a blast bashing Trump and Putin a few weeks ago. I'm surprised he didn't pull the federal money sent due to the Tornados in Nola east.

I think he means that, while true, it's not even close to the biggest fake news story.

All of the good ones have been taken, so I'll go with the "detained muslim Olympian" story that was released during the Trump travel ban, but was later discovered to have happened in December of 2016. No retractions. No corrections.

1. Anything the media ran on 9/11.

2. Continued perpetuation of Jesus Christ.
