On 30 December 2017, the web site reaganwasright.com published an article reporting that a federal judge had ruled that three items of Sharia law were now deemed to be legal in the state of Texas: Observant readers might notice the paucity of detail in this article: nowhere does it identify the Syrian man whose conviction was supposedly overturned, the judge who issued the ruling, which court heard the case, the text of the decision, or any other actual aspect of the story. This is hardly surprising, as the story originated with reaganwasright.com, one of a network of fake news sites that traffics in clickbait political trolling falsely labeled as satire. This article wasn't even original for a troll, as it was largely similar to another piece on the same subject published the previous year.
