On 28 May 2016, the web site Corrupted Potato published an article reporting that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said that the United States' was not responsible for slavery, and that she claimed the negroes liked it: That article cited a 31 March 2016 article on the primarily-satirical web site Newslo as a source, but the rehashed claim wasn't an instance of a blog being taken in unwittingly by a fake news story. Corrupted Potato clearly stated on its own disclaimer page that it deliberately publishes fake news: Much like Newslo, Religionlo, and Politicalo (a trio of related fake news sites), Corrupted Potato appears to specialize in a hybrid news/satire style of content. Newslo frequently makes Sarah Palin (or Bristol Palin) the target of race-based satire: previous pieces from that site have suggested the elder Palin lamented the end of slavery as a cause for President Obama's election and separately suggested it be reinstated on a voluntary basis. A different satirical article said that Bristol Palin said black actors don't get nominated for Oscars because they are difficult to distinguish from one another.
