text: The newly created US Misinformation Ministry located in the East Wing issued a press release this morning with the following statement: 
  
  'The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was actually fake news story created by the Italian Press and the then almighty Catholic Church. Christopher Columbus actually died when his boat sailed over the edge of the earth.
  
  As part of the new jobs initiative program the Misinformation Ministry will employ an new group of grey suited black hats, that will collect all history books dealing with the discovery of the America, for a book burning. New books will be issued with the references to the discovery of America rewritten to accurately depict these alternative facts.'
