My three year old sat on a balloon. I saw on Fox that there had been a huge gas explosion in our area. People died.

Get the Fox News mug.Fake news is produced by web sites or tabloids for the purpose of attracting viewers to ads. Fake news are sensational false (fiction) news-like stories created purely to attract readers.
Comedy shows, like the Daily Show, commonly mix real news with humor, including fictitious humor. But the news part of it is real. True, people who fall for fake news sites are very gullible, and perhaps can't tell which parts of the Daily Show are fiction, but those people aren't the Daily Show's target audience. Fake news has come to mean fiction for fiction's sake.
Fake news should also be distinguished from false news, also called dishonest news or lies that are told for political purposes. Many of the anti-Hillary stories were created by fake news sites, but then posted as lies on sites like Fox and Breitbart.

A small city in Massachusetts. Tourists love it there. The prices are pretty high, but hey, it's Mass, what do you expect? It's a generally nice place. Many people go there during the last week of July/First week of August for what is known as Yankee Homecoming, a week-wide event downtown. There are bands, and lots of food vendors and people selling things on the streets. It's a fun time all around. There is also a nice hotel in Newburyport called The Essex Street Inn, which is usually booked on summer holidays due to tourists.

Get the Newburyport mug.A pesudo-crazy X-TREME Right-Wing News Channel that thinks that Liberals with Communist/COBRA backing are Destroying America. Their stronghold (Fort Sarah Palin) is located in the Northern Hinterlands of Alaska, right next to the world's only Yeti preservation. They also have a secret Volcano Base (Fort Dubya) located by Dr. Evil's (A staunch Liberal, and CEO of Starbucks) Super-Secret Volcano Cidatel, who often launches attacks on them because they load his TV/Supercomputers with lots of Right-Wing/Dwarf Porn Spam.

Get the newb mug.News porn: Extensive news coverage of an unfortunate but essentially unimportant event purely for the purpose of titilating the audience and stimulating their purient desires.
Examples of news porn covered on Fox News on Sept 18, 2007:
1) Blurry video of an Iranian woman being stoned in public. Presumably show to tap into people's growing desire to bomb the heck out of another Middle Eastern country.
2) Video of a heckler at a political talk being tasered by campus security. The TV commentators were so stimulated by this that they couldn't even figure out why they were excited it.
3) Coverage of the latest OJ Simpson arrest. Nobody really knows what happened but apparently it is very easy to come up with dozens of people to express their opinions on it.
