On 10 November 2016, the entertainment web site Christian Times Newspaper published a hoax news article which reported that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton had filed for divorce from former president Bill Clinton just after conceding the election: This story has no truth to it. While the Christian Times Newspaper presents itself as if it were a genuine news organization (by imitating the name of the genuine newspaper the Christian Times), this web site nearly exclusively publishes hoaxes and fake news. The web site does not explicitly label itself as a fake news publication. However, they do carry a disclaimer exempting themselves from responsibility for their efforts: The web site has previously published several other politically-themed fake stories, including one report that the New York Police Department was investigating Bill Clinton for being involved with a child sex ring, that a leaked video showed widespread voter fraud in the United States, and tens of thousands of fraudulent ballots — pre-marked for Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates — were discovered in a warehouse in Ohio.
