On Dec. 15, 2016, The Hard Times published an article positing that U.S. President Donald Trump had demanded that singer Billie Holiday posthumously change her name to Billie Christmas: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. While The Hard Times disclaimer is a bit tongue in cheek, the site clearly states in its About Us page that it is a satire site (emphasis ours): This piece of satire is commenting on the War on Christmas. While readers may think that this holiday war is a modern invention, it can actually be traced back to at least the 1920s. You can read more about the history of the War on Christmas here. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
