A website “The Marshall Report” published a story on 8^th April 2016 and reported that the U.S presidential candidate for Republican Ted Cruz was married with his third cousin. This news got more popularity on most of the social media networks. But, it didn’t take much time to know the reality and authenticity. “The Marshall Report” has been considered in publishing sensational and most of the times false news items. Point to be noted that “The Marshal Report” is obviously not a fake news website, its blogs are frequently using “Satirical” and false articles just to provide reports. So, “The Marshall Report” had pointed out about an article published on a fake news website “World News Daily Report” on 14^th May 2015 as evidence.

The Disclaimer on the “World News Daily Report” also indicated that its entire articles are based on fiction and all stories are satirical nature. Point to be noted that all characters within the articles on this website are based on real people, but its entire stories and articles are fictional and any kind of similarity in the names to any person should be considered accidental. Some of the earlier published articles by World News Daily Report include “A Smithsonian employee was arrested due to sex with a Mummy”, “A 101 years-old woman gave birth”, “A babysitter swallowed a child when she was high on crystal meth” and “A lottery winner died due to gold-plating his genitals”.
