Rachel Maddow Punk’d By Hilarious Fake Website

It happened to us too, Rachel. Back in 2009 ChristWire.org, the unhealthily funny right-wing Christian fake news site, had us convinced a photo spread of men in Lycra was a legitimate news story. This time around, a story on the site calling for Sarah Palin to “speak out publicly” and call for the U.S. to invade Egypt. Though producers have now realized their mistake (and pulled the clip from MSNBC’s website).
