On 17 February 2017, the Newslo web site published an article reporting that televangelist Pat Robertson had said staring at First Lady Melania Trump was an activity sufficient to cure gays: Newslo (along with sister sites Religionlo, Politicops, and Politicalo) typically combine a tiny grain of truth with a balance of lies, as was the case in the above-quoted material. Newslo's trio of fake news sites include a button allowing readers to show facts or hide facts, but since by default all their content displays in hide facts mode, most visitors are not aware of the fictional embellishments they add: In this case, Pat Robertson's remarks about Mrs. Trump's being a lovely lady were genuinely something he said on CBN on 16 July 2016, but the balance of the Newslo article was fabricated, and Robertson never referred to Mrs. Trump as an actual gay whisperer. Robertson is a frequent target of Newslo and its brethren, where segments from the 700 Club are regularly embellished to create share-worthy fabrications.
