NEW YORK (AP) ..........................


The host of ABC's "The View" on Monday condemned a story that circulated last week falsely claiming that she said Navy SEAL widow Carryn Owens appeared at President Donald Trump's speech to Congress for the "attention."

The Underground Report, which has removed the story, calls itself "a news and political satire web publication" reporting "often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways."

1. The fake news sites really know how to cater to the brain stems among us.

3. Sadly most of those who read them are even lacking brain stems.

4. There used to be a radio host here (and elsewhere) by the name of Jay Marvin.

He would rip in to right wing callers and call them "brain stems"

It's actually a great description. They have no higher brain function.

2. Make sure he never writes anything again and winds up flipping burgers....

....not that flipping burgers is an ignoble occupation.

5. Suing them for all they have is the only way to hurt them....
