In November 2019, the Obamawatcher published an article positing that a campus Republican club at Bartlett College in Oregon had toppled a statue of former U.S. President Barack Obama: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Obamawatcher is part of the American's Last Line of Defense (LLOD) network of sites and social media accounts, which publishes fabricated articles on controversial topics calculated to arouse anger (and attract clicks and shares) from conservative, pro-Trump Americans. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
