In October 2017, several web sites falsely reported that actress Sandra Bullock had publicly defended President Donald Trump while also launching an attack against 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. The US World Now web site, for example, put out an article under the following lengthy headline: The body of the article itself did not contain this quote, however. Rather, it was composed of copied and pasted sections from a two-year-old People magazine article in which Bullock actually expressed her dislike of Donald Trump: Not surprisingly, this portion of the interview did not make it into the US World Now article. The same fabricated quotation was used as a clickbait headline by the Trump Times and My Info News web sites, while the Political Feed worked the fake quote into the body of their article: Political Feed made it entirely obvious that the quotation was fabricated by claiming Bullock had made her remarks at a press conference last Friday for her new film Our Brand is Crisis, a movie that had actually been released two years earlier.
