Hey, did you read that story about Monica Lewinsky getting offered a high-level job in the Trump administration? Or that Kanye West is actually a white kid from just outside Boise? It’s true. Has to be. Says so right here on my Facebook FB, -2.24% page. Like! Share!

Actually, no. Please don’t. Those aren’t real news stories. In fact, they’re not even real fake news stories. They might as well be, though, because they aren’t any more ridiculous than some of the whoppers that went viral in the past 12 months.
