The Rules

Links to news stories from...

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?

That's EXACTLY what they did, yeah. Just like when they appropriated "fake news" which was originally a term describing their own disinformation.

Which also nicely mirrors the Nazis calling everybody that contradicts them Lügenpresse.

That's not new though, Stalin and Hitler both played the fake news game.
