  • On 8 March 2016, the web site Fox3News published an article claiming chicken nuggets at several popular chain restaurants were being recalled due to contamination by human remains: Fox3News featured an About page, but didn't warn readers that its content consisted entirely of fake news. The site's tactic (posing as a legitimate local news affiliate) was similar to that of Now8News and Newswatch33, and as with items published to those web sites, there was no truth to the claim about human remains in chicken nuggets. The web site Fox3News.com wasn't linked to any regional affiliate of the network, and only came into existence on 2 March 2016. However, the pages closely mimicked the colors and style of recognizable media brand Fox News: The photo accompanying the fake story was taken from an unrelated thread on Reddit. It's worth noting that the seal displayed on the side of the police vehicle is that of Ontario, California, not Iowa City, Iowa, as the fake story claimed. (en)
