I know this is probably nothing.... |

It's very well done and makes me wistful. :P Can someone confirm that this is fake, please? And let me know how we can tell the difference for future reference. http://www.world-cnn.com/2004/WORLD/americas/11/30/bush.arrest/index.html

2. That is a hilarious, well-done fake. The home url is actually |
|
world-cnn.com, not actually cnn.com, but they appear to have copied genuine links for all the other features on the page.

doing a "whois" on the domain (world-cnn.com) brings up some guy named Liu, in NY, with a yahoo e-mail address.
If you do a "whois" on cnn.com, it's owned by not one guy name Liu, but Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.

5. Of course it is a fake |
|
I went to the main CNN website and then clicked on "World"...story is not there (as far as I could see). Too bad it's fake! Also saw that CNN is reporting on that erroneous AP account of today's Ohio Rally: http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/12/04/ohio.ap/index.html
