As many people in the worlds media have outlined, many times, the current mood for Fake News not only permeates American politics but, has been rife on online review sites for many years.
UK writer, Oobah Butler got so sick of being paid to write fake reviews he decided to create a fake restaurant. This illusion was so successful it seems an Australian media production company got in touch with him to have it included in a major inflight magazine!
And to top it off he even created ‘fake food’ for the images that were purported to show the food served!!
