It was about 6 to 7 years ago today that I designed a Fake CNN On-Line News story that announced that he was a candidate for the Pulitzer Prize for his work at Truthout.Com.
I Redid the HTML on a CNN page that had the actual story about candidates for the Pulitzer, uploaded it to the Net--- and it looked pretty dang authentic.
I then posted it here on DU with a hearty congrats for Will--- and bang....it worked like a charm.
It worked so well that Pitt's Mother---who is member of DU---called him early in the morning yelling at him for not informing her of the news. He woke and said---Huh---until he figured it out---and then began screaming-----Trumad!!!!!!!
I thought about doing another one this April Fools, but didn't have my web design software loaded on my new laptop. I still LMAO when I think of your Mom waking you up with a call.
Good luck with your chat at the NPR studios! Personally i think they (as an organization) have started leaning too far right for me, more in the sense that they ignore the truly progressive viewpoint most times than that they skew stories. But sometimes i'm appalled at who gets a voice on their shows... and subsequently, who doesn't...
this morning!!! Boy! I was going to come in and tell her I was pregnant as a joke (it would TRULY be a miracle if I were) But she would have absolutely KILLED ME!!!!!
