Hurlshort Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey all, I need a good fake news source. I'm doing a workshop on unreliable sources. It would be great if it was on religion in some aspect. I've already pulled something from the Onion, but I also need something that would likely fool a group of middle schoolers, and would be age appropriate. If you can think of any, I'd really appreciate a link. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

SteveThaiBinh Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 The Rockall Times Not all the stories would fool your middle-schoolers or be age-appropriate, but dig around and you should find something. I haven't looked at it for a while, so I can't think of anything in particular to recommend, sorry. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Hurlshort Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Surely you can write your own stories? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That might be what I need to do, although I'm using the Rockall times as a fun example for the teachers workshop. Thanks Steve and Insomniac. Hades, I agree with you, but I don't think the kids would get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 You could borrow something from an alt-history novel as well... ~DN~ "Geez.

Colrom Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 FOX, ABC, CNN, BBC will do well - or just go right to the source AP and the GOP. As dark is the absence of light, so evil is the absence of good. If you would destroy evil, do good. Evil cannot be perfected. Thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Actually I did end up pulling stuff from Fox news in order to demonstrate journalistic bias. I finished my presentation and it seemed to go well, so thanks for the help everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
