  • On 13 August 2016, the US Daily Mail web site published an article reporting that Alabama senator Fred Q. Calhoun had penned an open letter to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because he was upset that the state of Georgia, but not other states (such as Alabama), was allowed to compete in the Olympic games: This story was just a fabrication, however — the country of Georgia's Olympic team was not confused by any Alabama official with a team from the neighboring American state of the same name. Although the US Daily Mail does not carry a readily available disclaimer identifying their content as fake news, the web site's slogan is news that hasn't happened yet: There are several other ways to tell that this story is bogus. Mainly, there is no Alabama state senator named Fred Q. Calhoun: Furthermore, the image that accompanied this fake news story (which can be seen at the top of this article) was taken during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Canada, not at the 2016 Summer Olympics Games in Rio de Janeiro.
