(586 posts)7. "stolen satire" i hadn't heard that before, i like it
The social media posts are examples of what could be called "stolen satire," where claims written as satire and presented that way originally are reposted in a way that makes them appear to be legitimate news. As a result, readers of the later posts are misled, as was the case here.

(8,429 posts)9. Please delete or edit to clarify that this is satire.
It's funny, but some people are believing it. DU shouldn't be a source of misinformation, even if unintentionally.
