Fake story is fake
No, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney Haven’t Resorted To Calling Each Other Nasty Names

The nasty nicknames were quickly picked up by a number of other sources and reported as fact. The only problem, of course, is that Simon’s column was a satire. How do we know? (Other than by reading the column in full.) We asked him. His emailed response: “I figured describing PowerPoint as having been invented to euthanize cattle would make the satire clear. I guess people hate PowerPoint more than I thought.”

What fake story are we going to fall for today?
