About The Fake News Corporation
Dear Readers,
I have a confession to make: I started The Fake News Corporation out of pure, unfiltered desperation. There I was, sitting on my couch every day, watching “real” news reports unfold like the world’s slowest, most depressing soap opera. Every morning, I’d flick on the TV, secretly hoping for something exciting to happen. I’m talking alien invasions, zombie outbreaks, even a sentient robot uprising—anything to break the monotony of endless political debates, financial crises, and weather updates that never seemed to go anywhere.
Let me be clear—an alien invasion was always at the top of my list. I’d sit there, half-awake, thinking, This could be it. Today’s the day the mothership lands. But it never happened. Instead, I got more “breaking news” about tax policies and parking disputes at city hall. Riveting stuff.
That’s when it hit me. If reality wasn’t going to give us anything worth watching, why not make something up? After all, the lines between “real” and “fake” news were already starting to blur anyway. And I figured, if the news is going to be ridiculous, it might as well be entertaining.
Inspired by old copies of Weekly World News, a few crumpled issues of The Onion I scavenged from around town, and a campus newspaper I may or may not have been featured in after a few too many beers, I realized there was a niche out there. A place for satire, absurdity, and just plain nonsense. A place where, instead of draining your soul, the news could actually make you laugh.
That’s how The Fake News Corporation was born—a satire-filled zine where nothing is too outrageous and clickbait is not only welcome, but encouraged. Our goal? To entertain. To give you the news stories you secretly wish would happen. Who needs another report about traffic jams when you could read about a government plan to replace all politicians with cats? (Spoiler: it’s probably a good idea.)
But here’s the best part: The Fake News Corporation is powered by you. That’s right, we’re member-supported, and we take contributions from anyone. Got a wild story idea? A crazy rumor that no one should believe but would definitely make people smile? Send it our way. We’ll probably publish it, and if it’s good enough, we’ll even make it sound vaguely believable.
We welcome short stories, articles, rumors, gossip, fake headlines, conspiracy theories, and whatever else you can dream up. Consider us your very own fake news factory. All we ask is that you keep it weird—and maybe throw in the occasional alien invasion for me.
So if you, like me, are tired of reality’s endless snooze-fest and need a place where the ridiculous becomes real (at least for a few pages), you’re in the right place. The Fake News Corporation is your escape from the mundane. Here, the only rule is that there are no rules—just pure, absurd entertainment.
Thanks for joining us on this ridiculous journey. We promise, it’ll be a lot more fun than watching the “real” news.
Sincerely,
The Founder
The Fake News Corporation
