Annual Corporate News Media Fake News Coming

At least one if not all of your 'network' news stations will air fake news in about two and a-half weeks.


Guaranteed.  Perhaps with the US Government involved.


It's known as those Christmas Eve 'Santa sightings-'  for years "tracked" by NORAD (the North American Defense Command).


Your local news station will replace a fluff- celebrity and/or Internet pop-culture story or two with more hard-hitting news of a fictional character being transported in a fictional conveyance to your doorstep (or rooftop if you will- if you won't...forget it ;) ).


Why worry about "fake news" on the Internet when commercial TV has been providing such for years?
