  • On 10 March 2016, Politicalo published an article reporting that Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2016 election, said he would use nuclear weapons on Mexico if they refused to build and pay for a border wall: Comments attributed to Trump in the first paragraph were authentic, and came from an MSNBC appearance by the candidate in early March 2016: The first portion of the article may have led readers to think that the subsequent claims were real, but everything beyond its first paragraph was fabricated. Content published by the self-styled hybrid news sites Newslo, Religionlo, and Politicalo built upon controversial current events with related embellishments. Politicalo and related sites featured a button enabling readers to Show Facts or Hide Facts: However, every Newslo, Politicalo, and Religionlo item opened in Hide Facts mode by default, making the embellishments difficult for readers to identify. In addition to its Show Facts/Hide Facts feature, Politicalo's disclaimer explained: Previous Newslo, Religionlo, and Politicalo articles that caused social media confusion included claims that Marco Rubio said women should be taken into custody if they were considering an abortion (and that Zika was a punishment from God), Pat Robertson said gay people should wear colors by which heterosexual people could identify them in public, Pastor John Piper said bikini waxes were a sin in the eyes of God, David Bowie was alive but held hostage by Satanic entities, Ted Cruz said God would not have allowed Antonin Scalia to die at a time that was not politically expedient, a Republican lawmaker proposed saliva-based hunger tests for food stamp recipients, and Bristol Palin said that more black actors weren't nominated for Oscars because they all looked alike. In the case of this article, there is already a wall that stretches nearly 2,000 miles between the United States and Mexico, making Trump's statements (whether or not they were real) moot: (en)
