The article submitted to us from PoliticalEars.com was this one:
THREE OF FIVE DETAINEES SWAPPED ARE NOW ISIS LEADERS
However, it’s basically a copy of this report from our good friends at National Report:
Terrorist Exchanged For Bowe Bergdahl Now Top ISIS Commander
Political Ears hadn’t noted its sources — likely because someone had already called them out on sourcing a well-known satire news site previously. They’ve also disabled comments from what I can see.
They had also re-posted another National Report piece about Obama going for a third term. In a little-biddy teeny-weeny postscript, they try to fend off the naysayers by saying it was an April Fool’s Joke. The National Report article was published March 25th. It’s unlikely that Political Ears waited a full week to re-post the article on their site — the click-bait wouldn’t be effective! More than likely, they simply edited the post’s date to reflect April 1, 2014.
