On 10/29/2022, the Santa Monica Observer produced a story that was shared on Twitter by Elon Musk called “The Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was on Drugs And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute Friday Morning.” The story appears to be fake and defamatory. At this writing on 10/30/2022, the website is no longer accessible.

Signs of things to come?

That an online newspaper might report some info that didn't happen and somebody might be fooled and link to it?

Sounds like signs of things happening since there was an internet...

That's the same "newspaper" that claimed that Hillary Clinton died and was replaced by a double.

It's a "newspaper" operated by a business letting other businesses publish a statement in a newspaper of general circulation when registering or changing a fictitious business name, as required by California law.

So it's like a fake fake news newspaper.

It's called a power move. I can lie and there's nothing you can do about it.
