Summary of Fake and Real articles

Fake Article= Anytime you open up an article with the title of "Extinct species found in Chuck Norris' beard" you know its going to be an interesting one, and probably a fake one. In Cape Town, South Africa there was a belief that a South African spotted wild frog has gone extince and the extinct species was spotted in Chuck Norris; beard. This article was obviously created as a humorous piece that grabs the attention of people at places such as super markets, airports, and newstands.

True Article= This past week Tony Kornheiser was suspended by ESPN for "horrifying comments about Hannah Storm. Tony is an anylyst on ESPN and has one of the most viewed shows called Pardon the interuption, also called PTI. He is known for his big mouth but usually has stayed out of the limelight for negative attention. The remarks that frustrated ESPN were "a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. Shes got on a red go go boots and a Catholic school plaid skirt..way too short for somebody in her 40s maybe early 50s by now. In my opinion i dont think it was that bad but the media always makes things worse than they really are. Bet he watches what he says about womens outfits next time hes back on the show.
