The FM Observer Is Shutting Down. For Good.

Bye. Sayonara. Bon voyage. Arrivederci. Honolulu. Outie. Chow.

Fargo, ND—With a little over four years of incredibly touching amateur satire under its belt, Fargo-Moorhead’s only fake news agency is calling it quits. The FM Observer is shutting down permanently, as of this evening.

What once was a vessel for completely made-up, imaginative, sometimes thought-provoking, Absurdly Observative™ fake news articles is becoming a thing of the past. In a statement released this morning, FMO Staff bid the internet a fond farewell:

“Over the years we’ve gleefully provided the worldwide web with our own personal dose of imaginative fairy-tale news coverage. The fact that we’re fresh out of ideas coupled with an expired internet domain registry was a sign from Above that now would be the best time to pull the plug. What a ride it’s been! We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Well……actually, that’s not true.  We could’ve written better articles.”

Observer staff members will soon be released back into the wild, free again to roam the forests, screaming at squirrels and conjuring Dark Spirits.

The FM Observer would like to thank our sponsors, of which there are none.

Thanks for reading! This website will self-destruct at 23:59 CST. [end]

Brian Williams’ Entire Identity Now Being Questioned

Brian Williams? His name is Robert Paulson.

Brian Williams? His name is Robert Paulson.

Nyork, NY – With many beginning to question the factual authenticity of a number of news stories reported by the popular NBC news anchor, some are now even looking into if his name is actually Brian Williams.

Independent investigators looking into the host of NBC Nightly News have now learned that in fact his name is Robert Paulson.

The long-used pseudonym “Brian Williams” was possibly the result of cleverly conflating two names of his former college roommates: Brian Exner and Gordon Williams.

George Washington University is positively confirming his name is Robert Paulson.

Records show that he did not graduate from GWU, which was one of the “big regrets “of his life.

His supposed birthdate of May 5, 1959 also seems to have been bogusly fabricated, along with his presumed affinity for NASCARacing.

Chief Investigator Erron Brooks: “The more we look into this guy, the more questions pop up. But at this juncture, the only thing we know for sure is that: His name is Robert Paulson.”
