On 17 February 2016, the entertainment web site World News Daily Report published an article reporting that a Detroit woman had set a new world record by having fourteen children with fourteen different fathers: There was no truth to this story. The World News Daily Report is a fake news site that does not publish factual stories, as noted in their disclaimer: World News Daily Report also used an unrelated photograph to accompany their article: The image doesn't show this fictional woman's numerous children; rather, it is a stock photograph of children, presumably from different families. In fact, it appears that World News Net Daily just lifted the picture from a story in the Milford Mirror about a new mother who had given birth to the first baby of 2015 in Milford, Connecticut: Another fake news clickbait site, TMZ World News, used the same headline, language, and quotes, but a different photograph and name (perhaps in an attempt to lend authenticity to a story that was equally fake). The photograph in that version was stolen from another first baby of the year story, from 2007.
