OffG is looking for (proven) fake news!

We’re interesting in collating all the examples of fakery in the news for an article we are planning to run later this week.

That would be doctored photos, proven lies, staged video footage.

For example, there was the famous “bus incident” where two reporters from CNN were pretending to be miles apart, but were actually in the same car park.

Or there was the “Rape on Campus” story from Rolling Stone, an account of a sexual assault that never happened.

Specifically, one of our editors recalls seeing a picture where a reporter for a television network has “faked” a crowd by gathering a dozen people around the camera, but a photo from one of the windows above the street shows the deception.

That’s the kind of incident we’re looking to pool together. Nothing is too big or too small.

If you have a source for this – or any other examples of provable “fake news” – send them to us via e-mail or post them in the comments below.
