In mid-January 2018, the U.S. news cycle featured controversy over the announced results of President Trump's annual medical physical exam, as well as over claims that Trump's lawyershad walked back the president's assertion that he would be willing to talk to special counsel Robert Mueller under oath as part of the ongoing investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. During that period, the Borowitz Report published a positing that President Trump's physician had penned a note declaring that the chief executive was not well enough to speak with Mueller after all: A number of social media users who were unaware of this item's context mistook it for a genuine news report. However, the story's original source, the Borowitz Report, is a satirical New Yorker news column authored by humorist Andy Borowitz, whose work is based on current events in the political world but is not a factual reporting of news.
