unjournalism
Unjournalism, also called fake news, news satire or mock news, is a type of parody presented in a format typical of mainstream journalism, and called a satire because of its content.
News satire has been around almost as long as journalism itself, but it is particularly popular on the web, where it is relatively easy to mimic a credible news source and stories may achieve wide distribution from nearly any site.
Generally, the goal of Unjournalism is to make social commentary in a form that provides entertainment.
Because news satire or unjournalism relies heavily on irony and deadpan humor, it is occasionally mistaken for real news.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
