Cher falls for fake news. Tweets satire as real; a dig at Trump.

The Widow Bono Cher Tweets:


It is a story.

The story appears at a site called Reductress. Read it, it's funny.

What is Reductress? This is Reductress.


The Widow Bono Cher didn't bother to check if the story was accurate. How long did it take me to search Reductress and find out it's a satire site? Maybe two seconds. 

Why would The Widow Bono Cher Tweet this? She assumed it was true and, I'm guessing, The Widow Bono's Cher's motive behind her Tweet is that this (fictional) woman died because of the cost of insulin and that, of course, is the fault of President Donald Trump.

"In 2012, a vial of Humalog insulin was priced at $130. By 2016, the same vial was priced at $255. Coincidentally, during that time patients' costs for insulin also doubled ", [wrote attorney and Type 1 diabetic Laura Marston on Twitter, in response to the report.]
During 2012 to 2016 the person in the White House was acting President Barack Obama. The Widow Bono Cher must not remember this. None of us are getting any younger, I guess. 'Membering is hard.

How many read her Tweet, maybe clicked on the link, glanced at the Reductress story and believed it? And then they passed it onto others, who also believed it true, because, "The Widow Bono Cher Tweeted it,"? How could anyone read the Reducturess story and believe it? It's so over-the-top. Someone said, never overestimate the intelligence of a Liberal.

The Widow Bono Cher PWND by Fake News; rather, satire. Isn't she one of the Vocal Left who decries 'Fake News' that is anything supportive of President Trump?

There was that one time where she said "'L.A. is my city'," and it can't take care of any more immigrants.

I wonder if this item was a big seller? Via Pinterest (Vintage Toys)
