On April 23rd in 2013,
the press put out this tweet:
Breaking news
Obama has a bruise
and the white house went BOOM.
The message was retweeted 4k time.
But all of it was fake
that’s a crime,
but it still went viral.
This news was fake
and none of it was real,
the press was hacked
by Syrians in teal!
Their purpose was to mess up society
but they disrupted more than a variety.
All of trading went to a halt
based on the president,
it’s the Syrians fault!
As everyone started tweeting,
a lotta money went down,
$139B
in a single day!
For some reason
fake news spread faster
than real news from broadcasters.
The point of this poem
is that news, the big total,
might be fake or real
So it’s all on you
to decide whether it’s real or not.
