Satirical news report investigates the conditions in John Lewis district

Despite President-elect Donald Trump tweeting that Ga. Rep. John Lewis’ 5th congressional district is “falling apart” and “crime-ridden,” that part of Atlanta is fine. No, really. Just ask the people who live there.

Annalise Kaylor, whose Facebook page lists her as a photojournalist and photographer, decided to take matters into her own hands and investigate the 5th district herself, tongue firmly in cheek and satire levels set to 11. The results are what you’d expect.

People are actually proud of themselves because they've been able to conclude that the satirical piece is "fake news."

I would like it if she and others would do more reports. There are so many ways to do the reports and make them funny.
