I Guess There Are Worse Places to Get Your News
Harvey noticed that a fake news story he wrote has been picked up by Google News. The post was clearly labeled "Newish Fakery," but maybe "newish" is close enough to news for today's standards. I searched for "impeachment" in Google News, and my latest article on why we should encourage impeachment came up, making IMAO one of the few news organizations I guess IMAO needs a newsy slogan like "All the news we felt like writing today." Have at it in the comments and the best one will win... High Praise! (that reminds me; I still need to pick someone for High Praise from this post, and there were a ton of excellent submissions) UPDATE: Another entry from myself: "We never verified it's not true." 61 Responses To "I Guess There Are Worse Places to Get Your News"
News with the same accuracy as wikipedia. or Fairly unblanced. We make it up, you decide. #1 - Posted by: Derek, Lord of the Commentators on August 28, 2007 11:35 AMIMAO: Because news happens... and if it doesn't, we'll make it up. #2 - Posted by: Devil_Dog on August 28, 2007 11:36 AMIMAO: You source for all the news we know you unwashed, half-retarded idiots will swallow Hook, Line and Sinker. IMAO: Fake but Accurate. And sometimes not even accurate. IMAO: The New York Times does it, so we figured making up the news was Okay. #3 - Posted by: DesertElephant on August 28, 2007 11:37 AM...or... IMAO: We treat the news with all the seriousness it deserves. #4 - Posted by: Devil_Dog on August 28, 2007 11:39 AMIMAO: The Spin Starts Here #5 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on August 28, 2007 11:42 AMNEWS FLASH: Hillary has just withdrawn from the Presidential race. In a candid moment she has admitted to delusions of grandeur and a complete lack of honesty with the voters. She regrets all the pain she has caused the American fighting men and women. She intends to settle down with her secret partner make a new life for herself based on honesty and integrety. IMAO: In your heart, you know we're Right! IMAO NEWS! All the accuracy of CBS without the insufferable arrogance. #9 - Posted by: RJS on August 28, 2007 11:50 AMIf it didn't happen, we'll have it here #10 - Posted by: Son of Bob on August 28, 2007 11:56 AMIMAO NEWS...'CAUSE YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! or Fair, balanced, accurate, Nah…we got pix of you' momma! or IMAO NEWS! For money or a beer, we'll go away! IMAO: Because, when news happens it's fine with us #13 - Posted by: Son of Bob on August 28, 2007 12:03 PMThe most trusted name in newsishness. You say “fake news” like it’s a BAD thing. Journalism just got a little yellower. IMAO News. IMAO News: Making up crap faster than Pinch Sulzberger #15 - Posted by: Raving Lunatic on August 28, 2007 12:08 PMIMAO NEWS for NEWBS: Unfair, Unbalanced, Unmedicated, and Untrue #16 - Posted by: Mister Cantankerous on August 28, 2007 12:09 PMIMAO News: No truth left unbent or IMAO News: So fake, even liberals believe it #17 - Posted by: Raving Lunatic on August 28, 2007 12:10 PMIMAO: If it comes up on Google, it MUST be true. #18 - Posted by: badmartin on August 28, 2007 12:12 PMIMAO News: When ordinary journalistic incompetence won't #19 - Posted by: Raving Lunatic on August 28, 2007 12:13 PMIMAO News: Proving you CAN believe everything you read on the internet-sometimes. #20 - Posted by: kerrcarto on August 28, 2007 12:16 PMIMAO: All the news that's fit to print...on t-shirts...

IMAO:We were never fooled by Scott Beauchamp, Lucy Ramirez or Eason Jordan! #24 - Posted by: Veeshir on August 28, 2007 12:28 PMHey, he didn't just notice that - I pointed it out in the comments! Waah! #25 - Posted by: Alice H on August 28, 2007 12:31 PMIMAO: Where a conservative tongue in your cheek is better than a liberal one up your ass. #26 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 28, 2007 12:33 PM"IMAO: AP and Reuters aren't the only ones who know how to use Photoshop" "IMAO: The clown of the media circus" "IMAO: Extra fake, but extra accurate" #27 - Posted by: Master Shake on August 28, 2007 12:35 PMIMAO: Now with no trans fats! IMAO: Cholesterol free, too! IMAO: We make things up - for the children! IMAO: We have never employed Jayson Blair! IMAO: Locked and loaded! #28 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on August 28, 2007 12:36 PMWhy is Google serving up a "Labia Reduction" ad on this post? I didn't see John Edwards mentioned once. #29 - Posted by: Master Shake on August 28, 2007 12:39 PMIMAO: Because The Voices In Your Head Are Right When you need to reload I have been reading this site for a while, and have now come to the conclusion that it is not to be taken as seriously as it at first blush appears. Despite the aura of gravitas and journalistic respectability, it seems that some of the stories have begun drifting into the unchartable waters off the coast of Fancy. So to aid me in understanding the intent of the site, allow me to attempt what others have so skillfully achieved, a humorous but descriptive slogan. Be prepared to laugh very much: IMAO: All of us have eyes and aortic valves. Hmmm, that doesn't seem to quite capture the spirit. IMAO: News for the credulous. Better, I think, but still a bit subtle. IMAO: It's a joke. Laugh, or you're stupid. I like DesertElephant's the best, and have to contend with the suspicion that I'm just not funny. #31 - Posted by: Socrates on August 28, 2007 12:43 PM...except in a logically complex sort of way. #32 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 28, 2007 12:48 PMIMAO: The science is settled, and it shows that we're right. IMAO: The consensus among scientists favors our conclusions. IMAO: Those who deny the truth of our stories are worse than Hitler. #33 - Posted by: McBain on August 28, 2007 12:51 PM"IMAO: The New Republic wishes they were as accurate" "IMAO: At least we don't compromise national security secrets" "IMAO: Because we weren't so stupid that we needed to go to journalism school to learn how to make sh*t up" I like Jimmy's tongue slogan the best so far...LMAO! #35 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on August 28, 2007 12:55 PMIMAO: Our version of the truth is way better than theirs.
IMAO: All the news that's unfit for print! #37 - Posted by: Duggatunn on August 28, 2007 01:23 PMIMAO: It's for the kittens. IMAO: We're just like TNR, but funnier IMAO: 'Cause we said so! #38 - Posted by: BT on August 28, 2007 01:29 PMIMAO: As truthful as AP, but with better Photoshop skills than Reuters IMAO: We dare you to prove us wrong IMAO: Believe us. We own guns. IMAO: In some parallel universe, we're probably right. IMAO: Less news. More narative. IMAO: More serious than a snowman at a political debate. #39 - Posted by: shane on August 28, 2007 01:37 PMThe IMAO News: When it comes to the issues, we're Rather accurate. IMAO- Our photos aren't un-retouched IMAO News: Yeah... That's the Ticket! IMAO News: We're like the Value Menu for your news! #40 - Posted by: AlanABQ on August 28, 2007 02:12 PMIMAO: The non perscription once daily IMAO: Better than osteoporosis IMAO News: Some news writes itself, ours doesn't. IMAO News: When a straightjacket just wont do. IMAO: News most won't waste their ink printing... IMAO: Your "I just threw up in my mouth a little" IMAO News: Nowhere to go but up! IMAO News: Celebrating paltry pencil sketches! #41 - Posted by: Fork on August 28, 2007 02:16 PMIMAO: What are these "facts" you keep talking about? Doesn't nearly compare with the others, but I try. #42 - Posted by: Hazel on August 28, 2007 02:17 PMIMAO: At least when we fabricate news it is intended to be funny. IMAO News Fakery: Which word don't you understand? IMAO: Messing with the MSM for most of the current millennium. #43 - Posted by: Brian The Adequate on August 28, 2007 02:18 PMSaying the news you wish you had the guts to say first. #44 - Posted by: on August 28, 2007 02:38 PMDanke, Socrates. IMAO: We don't know the meaning of Journalistic Integrity. Seriously. You have a dictionary on you? IMAO: Try wrapping fish in this! #45 - Posted by: DesertElephant on August 28, 2007 02:47 PMIMAO NEWS: Accurate! IMAO NEWS: The fifth column of the fourth estate! IMAO NEWS: Yeah!

I thought that was CBS's. Hey, FH- //IMAO NEWS: To read in English, push 1. Para leer en espanol, aprete numero 2.// That reminds me of a shirt slogan I saw (and loved): "For English, press "1". Para Espanol, GO TO MEXICO & and press "2". #56 - Posted by: AlanABQ on August 29, 2007 12:17 AMActually, I'm submitting that burgled phrase for IMAO's news slogan. The IMAO Daily Post: For English, press "1". Para Espanol, GO TO MEXICO & and press "2". #57 - Posted by: AlanABQ on August 29, 2007 12:19 AMIMAO - And God said, "Let there be light" and there was IMAO. IMAO- All the news that's fit to spew.
