On March 14, 2020, ObamaWatcher published an article positing that the degrees earned by former first lady Michelle Obama at Harvard University were fake and that her transcripts had been altered to change her gender from male to female: 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: In reality, Obama graduated cum laude from Princeton University in 1985 and then earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Harvard Law School in 1988. The claim that Michelle Obama is really a man (hinted at in the fictional article) is an unfounded yet oft repeated conspiracy theory. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
