Did Stormy Daniels have an affair with former President Bill Clinton and does the Washington Sun-Tribune have proof of this? That can't be true because there is no newspaper by that name and the entire thing was made up by a satircal site set up to troll Republicans and conservatives.
The Last Line Of Defense published the article on March 28, 2018 with the headline "BREAKING: Stormy Daniels Had An Affair With Bill Clinton [PROOF]" (archived here) which opened:
The Washington Sun-Tribune is preparing to release a story about Stormy Daniels having an affair with none other than ex-president Slick Willy Clinton. The affair, which was consensual and lasted no more than a few days, was swept under the rug during the 2016 election.
Art Tubolls, Editor-in-Chief of the WST told us in an email:
"We have irrefutable proof that Clinton and Daniels met in 2009 for a sleazy weekend in which a former president thought it would be a good idea to cheat on his wife with a porn star."
A copy of the article later also appeared on Ladies of Liberty, a site run by the same people.
The phrase "told us" went to a google search for the word "idiot" and "Art Tubbols" is an anagram for "Busta Troll", the nickname of the founder of the site.
We wrote about thelastlineofdefense.online hoaxes before, here are our most recent articles that mention the site:
- Fake News: Actor Scott Baio NOT Killed in Freak Accident
- Fake News: Government Did NOT Confirm All UK schoolchildren Must Learn Arabic Numerals (Only Now...)
- Fake News: Gay Pornstar Did NOT Come Forward With Pence Accusations
- Fake News: Latest Dead Body NOT Tied To The Clintons, Did NOT Turn Up Valuable Evidence
- Fake News: Charles Schumer Did NOT Receive $500k Donation From Pro-Illegal Alien Group Just Before Vote
The site comes with a clear satire disclaimer at the bottom of each article:
sat·ire ~ˈsaˌtī(ə)r
noun
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, OR ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
If you disagree with the definition of satire or have decided it is synonymous with "comedy," you should really just move along.
The owner and main writer of the site is self-professed liberal troll Christopher Blair, a man from Maine who has made it his full time job to troll gullible conservatives and Trump supporters into liking and sharing his articles. He runs several other websites such as ladiesofliberty.net, shareotonin.com and dailyworldupdate.com. Sometimes he is also known under his nickname "Busta Troll". He has at least one accomplice who writes under the pen names "Freedom", "Captain Jellypants", "Butch Mannington" or "Captain Buck Atlantis".
Articles from Blair's sites frequently get copied by "real" fake news sites who often omit the satire disclaimer and any other hints the stories are fake. Blair has tried to get these sites shut down in the past but new ones keep cropping up and he keeps knocking them down.
If you see one of his stories on a site that does not contain a satire disclaimer, assume it is fake news. If you do see the satire disclaimer it is of course also fake news.
