On 29 December 2016, Politicalo published an article that appeared to report Bristol Palin said sissies who won't perform at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration did not want to because they were afraid they might fall in love with him: The material published by Politicalo (as well as sister sites Religionlo, Politicops, and Newslo) generally begins with a paragraph of fact-based information before appending extensive fabricated details. It has been widely reported that Palin described artists refusing to accept invitations to Trump's 20 January 2017 inauguration as sissies: But all content following the first paragraph's sissies remark was fabricated. Palin's remarks did not delve into whether Trump was irresistible or lovable, nor did she suggest at any point that anyone would be uncontrollably attracted to him. Newslo's fake news sites frequently circulate (sometimes using the lesser-known Politicops domain) on social media, and all include a button allowing readers to show facts or hide facts. The sites' articles display by default in hide facts mode, ensuring most visitors are not apprised of the highlighted embellishments: Bristol Palin, and the rest of the Palin family, are a popular target for Newslo sites. Previous articles falsely reported that Bristol Palin said all black actors look alike and thus are unlikely to earn Oscar nods, and another stated (again, falsely) that Sarah Palin made offensive remarks about slavery.
