On Dec. 30, 2018, the America's Last Line of Defense website published an article reporting that country music star Loretta Lynn had passed away and left behind a pro-Trump message for her fans noting that she had donated her entire estate to Trump's 2020 re-election campaign: This account was completely false, as is everything published by America's Last Line of Defense. Lynn (who, as of this writing, is actually 86 years old) had been briefly hospitalized a few months earlier but was still alive -- and up for a Grammy award -- at the time of publication. America's Last Line of Defense is part of a network of junk news sites that engages in political trolling under the guise of proffering satire. Update: Loretta Lynn died at the age of 90 on Oct. 4, 2022.
