"In the race to compete with viral media sites, fake stories contaminate the
output of once-reputable news publishers. But stories that are too good to be
true predate the internet, writes journalist and hoaxer Matt Thompson."

Playing the media at their own game is not new.  Unfortunately these days their
immune systems are considerably weaker.
