An article saying that California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is launching a federal investigation into President Barack Obama and Nevada Sen. Harry Reid’s “involvement” in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) “land grab” is fake and was published on a saitre website.
It was posted on the National Report, a website that only publishes fake news, describing it as “satire.”
The National Report has a disclaimer that says it’s satire, but it has been taken down. An archived page has the original disclaimer in full.
It reads: “DISCLAIMER: National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental .”
