Fake news!

This phenomenon already has a name.

Disinformation or propaganda...take your pick.

If the item is released to elicit a certain response, it is not just "fake news". It's propaganda.

The lady, I don't know her name, did this repeatedly during

the show on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

I have also noticed that all of them laugh and snicker

when they are discussing serious issues.

They are nothing more than over paid actors.
