  • A meme purportedly showing a quote from Bernie Sanders was frequently shared on social media in 2016: While the above-displayed quote is often shared with the claim that it was spoken by Sanders during a 1985 radio interview, the text has also been attached to a television interview from the same year: While the video is real, and while Sanders does offer some praise to Fidel Castro in the footage, the quote is fake. Nowhere in this video does Sanders say that the heritage of Castro will be felt for generations to come. We were also unable to unearth any radio interview clips or contemporary news reports attributing this quote to Sanders. In fact, the earliest mention of this alleged Bernie Sanders quote was published in the notorious fake news web site World News Daily Report on 29 October 2015: Other World News Daily Report hoaxes have included claims that a Smithsonian employee was caught raping a mummy, an infant in the Philippines was born with stigmata, a lottery winner died after gold-plating his genitals, a man's genitals were chewed off during the attempted sexual assault of a pit bull, a meth-using babysitter ate a toddler, an overweight man sued Golden Corral after he was kicked out for staying too long, and a Nazi sub surfaced in the Great Lakes.
