Fake News Makes Real News


Via Jedmonds at Pandagon, the New York Times reports that the White House is acting to stop The Onion's unauthorized use of the Presidential Seal (pictured above) on its website. The Onion uses the seal on the page for its satirical presidential radio broadcasts.

Apparently, the White House has something against fake news (oh, wait...). And although this story itself may sound like fake news, we know that it isn't because it's in the New York Times and not The Onion (oh, wait...).
