On 5 January 2017, hoax news and clickbait web site TheAmericanTribune.org posted a story reporting that the Southern Illinois University campus at Carbondale would be shuttering its doors as of 13 August 2017: The campus has been the site of student activism — like American college campuses have been for decades, but the claim that the university will close down is not at all true. University spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith told us that the university has no plans to close, saying: Other stories that appear on the web site are obviously falsified. Some seem to be semi-satirical, while others appear to be written purely to troll unsuspecting readers. In one such story, the site reported that magician David Blaine planned to travel back in time to one day before the 8 November 2016 election and prevent President-elect Donald Trump from winning. Yet another simply bears the headline, What I've learned from being a cuckold.
