How do I get a subscription? I have a few gift subscriptions in mind, like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Oh, man, this is hilarious.

Poor Spankee will be so confused: is it the real Fake News WaPo, or is it the fake Fake News WaPo.

His little reptilian brain will either explode with trying to process the circular argument or he’ll freeze into immobility, not knowing which way to move.

PS: if anyone figures out how to get a hold of this, I want one too!

I love this kind of prank. Well done!

“Pres. Pence begins ‘clipped duck’ term.”

This is not good. I realize it’s a joke or satire, or whatever, but it undermines WAPO’s credibility. The credibility of real news organizations is vitally important today.

Sort of like a visualization meditation on newsprint.

I don’t think a one-off that is clearly satirical will have any impact on WAPO’s credibility.

and in true Russian Fake News tradition… the web site associated with the fake WaPo is registered to a address in Nassau.

https://www.whois.com/whois/my-washingtonpost.com The site was registered at the beginning of the month

This is very well done…

My fear is that this will give the Dotard an excuse to clamp down hard on press freedoms. Yes, this is fake news. That’s all he needs to become more draconian.

No he can’t do that. How exactly would he go about it? He can’t. The press is protected by the constitution and there is nothing he can do.

He may not be able to do it legally, but he’ll try. He is in panic mode. I fear we’re about to see him do, or try to do some really bat-shit crazy stuff.
