- ateeqs 12y agoExactly. I still remember this Onion article from a few years back being confused as actual news. http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/28/world/iran-news-agency-duped/ http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/28/world/iran-news-agency-duped/
- wutbrodo 12y agoA more apt comparison would be if someone was fooled by an Onion article on the domain http://www.cnn-news.com http://www.cnn-news.com that had CNN at the top of the page. I'd imagine the vast majority of people would simply assume that was CNN.
