''National Report'' is a website which posts fictional articles related to world events. It is described by Snopes.com as a fake news site, by FactCheck.org as a satirical site and by Caitlin Dewey of the Washington Post as part of a fake-news industry, making profits from "duping gullible Internet users with deceptively newsy headlines." The ''National Report'' describes itself as a "news and political satire web publication" and provides a disclaimer that "all news articles contained within National Report are fiction".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Disclaimer )〕 Stories from the ''National Report'' have been taken seriously by third parties such as Fox News Channel, and the site drew criticism in October 2014 for running a series of fake stories about Ebola outbreaks in the United States, including the false report that the town of Purdon, Texas, has been quarantined after an outbreak. The story led to a traffic spike of two million unique visitors, and although the story was debunked by other websites, the original ''National Report'' story received six times as many "shares" on social media sites as the debunking stories did.〔 The ''National Report'' carries a disclaimer identifying its content as satire and fake news,〔 but there was no prominent link to this page until late December 2014. Numerous articles referring to ''National Report'' stories stated that ''National Report'' ==History== In February 2013, ''National Report'' was registered as a site. In 2014, a Facebook interface experiment included the site on a list of those whose stories were flagged as "satire" when appearing on the social network. Craig Silverman of emergent.info sees ''National Report'' as one of several websites which are "not driven by trying to do comedy or satire, but by what kind of fake stuff can we spin up to get shares that earn us money".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
