  • On 15 August 2016, the web site Real News Right Now published an article reporting that police in Scranton, Pennsylvania opened fire on a department store mannequin because the object failed to comply with orders: The article's closing line hinted at its satirical take on the issue of police shootings: The article (like all other content hosted on the site) is not representative of real events, but Real News Right Now does not include a disclaimer identifying it as a fake news web site. Its About page claims author R. Hobbus J.D. has received awards such as the Oscar Mayer Award for Journalistic Excellence and the Stephen Glass Distinction in Journalistic Integrity. Previous articles from Real News Right Now include reports that President Obama was stripping Texas of statehood (and banning possession of Confederate flags), Pope Francis was planning to change the Ten Commandments, the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was found in a warehouse owned by CNN, and that the Obama administration allocated Navajo land for hundreds of thousands of refugees.
