Early Days of Fake News

I am a big fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Of course, that’s why one of TeluGlobe’s categories is “Fake News.”  I think Fake News is the best way to have a satirical take on some the most ridiculous current events. Fake News shows have effectively shed light on the hypocrisy of many news makers.

TDS does a great job at delivering social commentary via Fake News. But they are not alone in this. I don’t know which network or show invented the concept of fake news. But they have been doing this for a long time on SNL. Enjoy these SNL fake news clips from the mid 70s.
