To be fair, I don’t think Menino was campaigning against moderation, fact-checking, and constantly spreading hateful lies about vulnerable people all under the guise of free speech.

In his case reporting a random town politician died because it’s April 1 is not much of a joke. Publishing a bunch of outlandish lies about someone who themselves constantly lies is also not much of a joke, but it is an excellent use of satire and turnabout.

Yes, sorry that one story about someone’s fake death reminded me about another story about someone’s fake death.

I found the article on the fake death and the consequences interesting. I just felt that the ethics of the situations are rather different.
