Museum satire taken seriously

http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/museum.asp



During the government shutdown in 2013 the National Report published an article about Obama claiming to keep open the International Museum of Muslim Culture by using his own money.  The National Report is a political satire company that created this article as satire against claims of Obamas roots in Islam.  Nonetheless people sharing in social media thought the article was true.  Even fox news did a segment on the piece.  Just goes to show how willing we are to affirm our claims we will grab an article without checking the source and put it on a major news station.  The Museum is a private museum too so it doesn't run on government spending.
