That's not opening for me, but I've been getting those fake news links on My Yahoo (the Yahoo news page you can customize). They have a label saying "ad," but they're formatted (headline, picture) like the other headlines and placed right between them.

The link works for me, but I'm browsing anonymously without ad blocker.

A lot of you probably saw this being reported as real.

Do people have nothing better to do than make up stuff like this?

as i've said (ether here or elsewhere) i love this age of fake news we're all living in now, anytime someone post something i don't like i just say "FAKE NEWS" and it doesn't matter how many links they have that prove otherwise the seed has been planted and doubt starts to take over (wish we had this after 08, maybe i'd still have H/C
 )

I'm glad to see people questioning the news they are spoonfed, and questioning the source they get it from. They are all bullshit, the trick is to see what each source is trying to sell you so you can sift through it to get truth without the spin. I don't trust any of them and the more sources people use the better.

Click bait. They're trying to get your IP address, then they'll spam you some more. Ignore it and it will go away. Real news gets announced on Wikipedia anyway.
