And the fact that it hasn't been locked as fake news or at least forced the change of presentation to SATIRE, why is this kind of stuff allowed at DU?

People are leaving DU because they can't trust certain posters who constantly post fake/AI posts or they post something they think is real and when informed it is fake, they won't change it.

Sounds like propaganda.
