Barrio Bugle sign: White House Denies It's Fake. Man: Lopez, we have to create more fake news. Eddie: What? Man:There's no profit in journalism anymore. fake news is what the people want. You need to come up with some solid fake news story ideas. Eddie: Oh. Man: Pitch me something. Eddie: "Fake news called better than real news, claims deluded publisher." Man: Okay, I like that.
