On 14 April 2016, the New Yorker published an article by Andy Borowitz reporting that former Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson, previously a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, had no memory of running for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination: Although many readers who encountered the story via social media believed it to be a genuine news report, is was nothing more than a spoof by comedian Andy Borowitz, who regularly pens satirical items for his Borowitz Report column in The New Yorker (where it is clearly identified as satire): Despite The New Yorker's frequent use of words such as satire and humor in conjunction with Borowitz's work, many people encountered this article on social media, where such labels were not readily available.
