...But, parody sites have pranked some of the most venerable media outlets to date.
The Washington Post fell for a prank story about Sarah Palin joining the Al Jazeera network. In one of the most embarrassing corrections in the newspaper's history, they wrote "CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post incorrectly reported that Sarah Palin planned to contribute to the Al Jazeera America news network."
Haha! Referring to the Washington Post as a venerable media outlet. Gotta love the tongue-in-cheek stuff!
