However, the claim was easily disproved. The photograph displayed at the top of the page was not of a former CIA agent named “Normand Hodges,” but rather a picture swiped from a 2014 article published by the Guardian about the practice of chaining gravely ill prisoners in the hospital.
If that’s not sufficient, note World News Daily Report‘s disclaimer page: World News Daily Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within worldnewsdailyreport.com are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental, except for all references to politicians and/or celebrities, in which case they are based on real people, but still based almost entirely in fiction. World News Daily Report is a fake news site that previously duped readers with claims that an eyewitness account of Jesus’ miracles was found, another alleging loggers cut down the world’s oldest tree, and purported photos of a “prehistoric shark” discovered in Pakistan.
