- So I have been working on this story

about how Harry Reid is a murdering

satanist fascist rapist atheist.

Is that too many things?

- I don't think that's enough things.

Chris, what have you got?

- Donald Trump says, "What?"

- It's a good start, but what does he say?

- I don't know.

- Alright, well figure it out by two

and it had better not be true this time.

- Oh, come on!

Everything the guy says sounds fake.

- That's not my problem.

Terry.

- I'm working on a story on conflicts

of interest in government.

- Why?

No, Terry I looked at your earlier work on this piece.

I don't think there's not a story there.

- How can you say that?

There's barely anything here.

It's almost all fake.

- No, this is thoughtful journalism

and I'm looking for sub-tabloid schlock.

- I just wrote five stories.

- This is what I'm looking for.

Can you do that for me for once?

Thank you.

- Peter, take a look at this.

- Where did you get this?

- I made it up.

- Holy shit.

How deep does this thing go?

- As deep as you want.

As deep as you want.

- My god.

Okay, change of plans people.

I want everyone working this pope corruption piece.

- What about my conflict of interest story?

- Oh what about it, Terry?

What about it?

This isn't the Times, for Christ's sake.

This is patriotnews.info.

We don't have a reputation to uphold.

Look at those awards.

Do you see that?

A lot of sweat and blood went into

photoshopping those awards.

- This story could define my career!

- Oh, your career.

This is bigger than you, kid!

Why'd you get into fake news in the first place?

- Honestly, I don't know.

It's crazy that it exists.

- Well, I'll tell you why I do it.

I do this because I believe the truth is powerful and it

takes constant vigilance to drown out that truth with noise.

I do this because the powerless deserve a voice

and maybe that voice should be a crazy

wackadoo coked-up conspiracy theorist

meth head with a bad sense of humor.

I do this because I believe that politicians

should be held accountable for the things

we say they did, whether or not

they actually did those things.

You're a fake news man.

Start acting like one.

- I don't have sources.

- What did you say?

- Sources, hundreds of them, all

of them totally non-existent.

I don't have quotes from named figures.

I don't have peer reviewed studies.

I even don't have video evidence and

none of it points to a worldwide conspiracy

of the highest institutions of power including you Pete.

- Piss off a lot of people running a story like that

which would probably get us a lot

of clicks so who gives a shit.

(laughter)

- I know, I know, so many clicks.

- Clicks, clicks, clicks, clicks!

(ominous music)
