On 26 November 2016, the Facebook page America Reloaded shared an article that appeared to report that Mattel was introducing a Public Assistance Barbie doll, just in time for holiday shopping: In case the fabricated quotes were not enough to raise red flags, the linked article was a 19 November 2014 fake news story from Empire News, which carries a disclaimer stating that all content it publishes is parody or satire: Although the satirical nature of Public Assistance Barbie was perhaps obvious to some, many social media users shared the years-old article without realizing the claim had been entirely fabricated.
