In March 2015, the entertainment web site National Report published an article reporting that former First Lady Nancy Reagan had endorsed Hillary Clinton for president: National Report does not publish any factual content, and carries the following disclaimer on its page: While most fake news articles have a relatively short life cycle, this piece continued to fool readers months after its original publication. In February 2016, it was frequently shared on social media: The hoax fooled at least one legitimate news organization, which briefly published (then retracted, then deleted) a story about Reagan's fictitious endorsement in April 2015. Despite the rumor's popularity, Nancy Reagan has not endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
