| Satire News Site Claims Federal Agents Raided A Medical Marijuana Shop Without A Warrant Posted: 06 Jan 2014 12:09 AM PST The satirical news website story linked to a previous story headlined ” Colorado Pot Shop Attempts To Disarm Citizens With `Weed for Guns` Buyback Program’ that detailed the shop trading marijuana for guns. Apparently some readers took the article seriously with one commenting ” Big Brother will do anything to disarm us” Another reader contacted 7NEWS to ask if we were going to cover the story of the federal raid on the medical marijuana shop. She said she spotted the headline on Comcast.net. Another other article on the website, about the same fictitious pot shop in Denver claimed they accepted food stamps for medical marijuana purchases with this headline: “Colorado Pot Shop Accepting Food Stamps Taxpayer Funded Marijuana for Welfare Recipients.” Also on the same website, we spotted a headline titled: “12-Year-Old Divorces Parents Over Wrong Christmas Present.” Even some legitimate news organizations have fallen victim to the National Report site, apparently not fact-checking the articles or the source. During last year’s government shutdown Fox News host Anna Kooiman re-reported a false story from the parody site that said President Barack Obama had offered to keep the International Museum of Muslim Cultures open with cash from his own pocket. |
