On Aug. 6, 2019, World News Daily Report published an article positing that a brother and sister from the state of New Jersey had been granted permission to marry after a long court battle. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Although the story is fake, the picture that World News Daily Report used depicted a real couple, although that couple is not related by blood. The people pictured: Charles Keidan and Rebecca Steinfeld, a British couple who fought for and won the right to have their union recognized as a civil partnership rather than a marriage in 2018. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
