On 28 April 2018, Daily Show correspondent Michelle Wolf delivered a routine at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner that was variously described as everything from as a savage takedown of everyone from President Donald Trump to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders to the media to a disgrace: Amidst a national press debate over the tone and appropriateness of Wolf's material the following day, the Daily World Update web site published an article reporting that Hulu subscription video service had cancelled plans to stream the comedian's standup special to their customers: None of this was true. Wolf has a new variety-sketch series called The Break coming to Netflix (not Hulu), and that series is still scheduled to begin streaming weekly on 27 May 2018. Moreover, Hulu has no president (or other executive) named Irwin R. Fletcher. This report about Wolf's putative Hulu cancellation originated with Daily World Update, a site that is part of a fake news network which engages in political trolling under the guise of offering satire. The site's disclaimer notes that Everything on this website is fiction. Daily World Update ran another nearly identical (and similarly false) article reporting that Comedy Central had fired Wolf.
