  • On 2 June 2016, the Christian Times Newspaper web site published an article reporting that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton had introduced racism into a debate over the controversial shooting death of a gorilla named Harambe after a child fell into the ape's enclosure at a Cincinnati zoo: The article circulated on Facebook, where Clinton's critics took its claim at face value. However, the Christian Times Newspaper (not to be confused with the legitimate publication The Christian Times) is a fake news site whose articles are appended with the following disclaimer: Accordingly, it is simple to conclude that the comments attributed to Clinton about the gorilla's death are not necessarily grounded in fact. Other article headlines on the site are clearly designed to incite social media outrage-driven sharing, such as BREAKING: Colorado GOP primary CANCELLED, Cruz awarded ALL delegates and BREAKING: Black Trump supporter shot and killed by Chicago protesters. Christian Times Newspaper is similar to the fake news site The End Times as a satirical effort aimed at politically conservative social media users. (en)
