A diary that passes off a satirical HuffPo piece as real has been climbing the rec list all afternoon, and is now near the top with well over 100 recs.
The diarist not only didn’t label it as satire, but explicitly disavowed the idea that it was satire, both in the headline and the text. Whether intentional or not, this is deceptive and should not be rewarded with recs.
It would be one thing if the piece were posted, and being appreciated, as satire. But, judging by the comments from recommenders, that’s clearly not the case.
Come on, folks. I know Trump has fried our brains — but we need to uphold our standards.
