"What we found," head researcher Todd Cox, professor of psychology at St. John's College, told The Chive, "was that there was a statistically significant correlation between subjects reading fake news and laughing, whereas when subjects read the real news, they tended towards dourness and pretentiousness. Now, of course, this result does not by itself imply causation, as one of our research assistants has a harelip but was only seen by the first group of subjects. This is off the record, right?"
The news was greeted with dismay by the mainstream media. The Chive has no official comment at this time.
