On Aug. 10, 2021, RealRawNews.com published an article positing that U.S. Marine Commandant David Berger had berated Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin over plans to implement mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for members of the U.S. military, calling him a traitor and vowing: There will be no mandatory vaccinations for my Marines. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: RealRawNews.com is known to publish fabricated, conspiracy theory-driven stories, for example the outrageous and distasteful claim, on Aug. 6, that the U.S. military had hanged Susan Rice, director of the Domestic Policy Council and National Security Advisor to former President Barack Obama. Snopes has debunked such fabrications several times in the past. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
