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.

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.

4. It's well done, but fake
Edited on Sat Dec-04-04 05:45 PM by AmyCrat
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:
