A Fine Line Between Satire and Fake News

Satirist, Andy Borowitz, recently wrote an article for The New Yorker stating that President Trump's physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, wrote a note excusing him from speaking with special counsel Robert Mueller.  "The doctor’s note offered a laundry list of ailments afflicting Trump, including flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, headaches, dizziness, confusion, and what Jackson called a “wartime foot injury that appears to be acting up.”

For those not familiar with Andy Borowitz and his comedic writings one would assume that the article was factual news.  Some may even be screaming "Fake News" and claim this to be yet another fake article by the liberal media against President Trump.

My advice, due your homework people!  Don't take things at face value!  Snopes is your friend. [1 image, 3 links, 1 quotation, 123 words]
