The rating says it’s satire (what does this rate mean?)

On October 9, 2023, SpaceXMania wrote that Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer, had won a $10 million “defamation lawsuit” against Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View”:

New: Riley Gaines wins $10 million lawsuit against Whoopi Goldberg for “defamation.”

In a story that has been told in courts, on TV, and on the always-busy social media, Riley Gaines, whose name has become associated with legal success, has once again reached the top of the podium. This time, she’s not just feeling great about her sports success; she’s also feeling great about a different kind of victory: she won a huge defamation case against Whoopi Goldberg and got $10 million.

We found some Facebook posts that linked to the story and a YouTube movie that almost copied the article word-for-word. A lot of websites, like popularnews71.net/, newsc5.com, newsbina.fun, faithhopel.info, and lifestory25.com, copied the SpaceXMania article in the same way.

This story isn’t true. When the SpaceXMania story was first released, it had a “Satire” mark above the title. SpaceXMania says that the following is an example of its funny or mocking work:

Please keep in mind that the articles in the “SATIRE” area are meant to be funny and not taken seriously. These stories are meant to be funny, and most of the time they’re made up. We don’t promise that the information in these stories is true or correct.

We’ve already checked the truth of other spoof stories that linked Gaines and Goldberg, like the one that said Gaines and right activist Candace Owens worked together to “destroy” Goldberg.
