The First Day: The internet is a grand place. It has diversity. It has depth. It can be dark. It can be deep. But most importantly, it has a lot of news. A lot of new news, a lot of eu-news (that is, true news), a lot of old news, a lot of gold news, that is, news about gold. It has got news about cake and has got news that is fake. It is this last category that will concern us till the end of this seemingly non-fake, yet fake, news article.
90% of all News is Fake News! A bold claim indeed, with its boldness amplified by the fact that the word bold is formatted bold. But, perhaps all the boldness was not so bold afterall, as days within publishing the news about fake news, the news source gets tagged as a fake news source. How and why this happened is interesting. We hope, you will be interested.
An unnamed news source named Unnamed News Source was the source of the news that ruled the world for 3 long days. In those 3 days, every newspaper subscription was cancelled, every cancelled newspaper was subscribed and every subscribed cancellations were reported in newspapers. The world had literally stopped and trust was quickly becoming an untrustworthy investment.
The news that was responsible for all this was a simple, in fact too simple, more like childishly simple, article, that stated, 90% of All News is Fake News. On the following day, humans for the first time, woke up to their mobile phones, instead of newspapers. The traffic to every social media site exponentiated. The number of likes and follows and subscribes that flew around made every account holder elated with their notifications. The entire world, for some reason, had collectively refused to listen or read any more news.
But soon, this short lived state of ignorance was about to end. The News that changed everybody, suddenly got itself classified as a Fake News. All of a sudden, the internet traffic dropped and the whole world tuned into mainstream media and bought trillions of newspapers from outlets worldwide. Here in Antarctica, Penguins bought newspapers at the rate of one paper a microsecond. And all the changes that had changed the world, changed back and changed back for good.
We are not confident about this news either. We too had unsubscribed from every news source in the last three days. But today we are back and back we are with a bang. We, hereby, confidently publish our possibly fake news about a fake news that claimed that most of world news is actually, you guessed it, fake news!
