Sneaky "news"

Just a heads up- I've been noticing fake "news" Youtubes lately. Topics have been mainly political- they involve things like sitting Supreme Court justices or government officials sitting solo in Congress for hearings that never happened.
There are tiny text disclaimers or slides saying "this is entertainment " but the photos [split screen] are real. The voice overs are like infomercials. From comments under the video many people are taking these as real .
So stay vigilant. Truth is weird enough these days .
