  • In March 2016, a network of several local news aggregate web sites (including mbynews.com, ky6news.com, kspm33.com, alynews.com, mckenziepost.com headlinebrief.com, and localnews33.com) published items reporting that a sequel to the 2008 Will Ferrell comedy Step Brothers was in the works: There is no truth to this report. MBY News is a fake news site that does not publish factual stories, as noted in the site's disclaimer: In addition to the fake news article spread by MBY News, the Step Brothers 2 hoax was bolstered by Step Brothers 2 Facebook page and web site advertising various filming locales across the United States: Neither of those online entities is associated with the creators of the Step Brothers film, however. In January 2016, director Adam McKay was asked about a potential sequel to Step Brothers and responded by saying that it was a possibility but that nothing was currently in the works: MBY News is a new breed of fake news web site that focuses on local stories. The web site, along with other similar local news aggregate web sites, was also responsible for pushing a false rumor that The Notebook 2 was filming in [insert name of small town here] and that multiple A-list celebrities were moving to various small towns across the United States.
