Fake News
Topic: Newsmax
As its way of rebutting claims that the U.S. government paid millions of dollars to Iraqi media and journalists to place positive stories stories in the press, a Dec. 3 NewsMax article recounts a litany of "faked news reports" by the "mainstream media."

But something's missing from that list -- NewsMax's own ventures into fake news:

-- It falsely claimed that the Clintons were selling their Chappaqua, N.Y., house.

-- It falsely claimed that U2 was holding a fund-raiser for Sen. Rick Santorum, then denied making that claim.
