  • In April 2017, not long after a Syrian military airfield was bombed by the United States, the entertainment web site Breaking Burgh published a hoax news article reporting that the Trump Organization (Donald Trump's privately owned development and real estate company) had won a lucrative contract to rebuild it: This is not a genuine news article; it is actually a piece of satire from Breaking Burgh, a web site that identifies itself as a satire blog in its tagline on the front page (A Satirical Blog Serving Western Pennsylvania and Beyond) as well as on its About page: This is not the first piece of misinformation to circulate in the wake of the missile strike against Syria in April 2017. A rumor circulated that the White House had announced that the attack was simply a publicity stunt (which was false), and another claimed that President Trump owned stock in Raytheon, the company that produced the missiles used in the attack, and personally profited from the incident (which we rated unproven).
