  • On 25 March 2015, World News Daily Report published an article titled Retired CIA Agent Confesses on Deathbed: 'I Killed Marilyn Monroe.' According to that article, former Central Intelligence Agency operative Normand Hodges completed 37 assassinations during his career — numbering among them the killing of a Hollywood legend and long-rumored mistress of President John F. Kennedy: The article included a purported quote from Hodges explaining why Marilyn was assassinated: However, the claim was easily disproved. The photograph displayed at the top of the page was not of a former CIA agent named Normand Hodges, but rather a picture swiped from a 2014 article published by the Guardian about the practice of chaining gravely ill prisoners in the hospital. If that's not sufficient, note World News Daily Report's disclaimer page: World News Daily Report is a fake news site that previously duped readers with claims that an eyewitness account of Jesus' miracles was found, another alleging loggers cut down the world's oldest tree, and purported photos of a prehistoric shark discovered in Pakistan.
