PPPS Hires Fake News Director

PPPS (Littleton)—STAFF UPDATE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In order to better compete with other major news organizations in the current news market, the Pundit Pete Press Service announced today the creation of a new staff position,  DIRECTOR OF FAKE NEWS.
Phony Pete, Fake News Director

After an exhaustive search and interviews with many, many talented and qualified journalists, PPPS is proud to announce the hiring of Phony Pete as our new Director of Fake News. 

Phony Pete hails from another news organization (which we shall not name) and claims to have been a Fake News Award winning  White House Correspondent, although for this type of position, resume credentials are always considered suspect.

Pete, did however, present numerous, verifiable, news story examples which clearly qualified as fake news - so many, in fact, that we gave up on reading them after the first 200 or so. Most, it turned out, had a common theme, criticism of the current president, a fake news meme that we can certainly get on board with, and a key element in maintaining market share.

Phony Pete, upon hearing of his selection for the Fake News Director position, was quoted as saying,
"I am so thrilled to accept this job with the Pundit Pete Press Service, the premier fake news organization in America. People don't realize the constant pressures involved with pretending to deliver "objective" news content. At PPPS, I will have the freedom to direct staff in genuine fake news reporting on a daily basis. I couldn't be happier."

Note:  Any image resemblance to a certain well-known journalist is purely coincidental and should be considered as "fake news".

  1. Hey wait. That looks just like CNN's Jim Acosta.
    Are you sure this is a real story?
