The Fakist: Fake News You Can Trust!Dive into the satirical world of The Fakist, where breaking fake news is the order of the day and the truth is optional. Join Paul DaFoe, an ambitious yet flawed fake news anchor, and LeAnn Snyder, the principled EPICOP (Executive Producer in Charge of Production) determined to bring leave her mark on the business of news... by helping break it. Together with the most idiosyncratic news team in the business, they uncover breaking stories from politics, entertainment, the supernatural, and even Neptune. With drama behind the scenes and hilarity in every headline, The Fakist explores the blurry line between truth and fiction in a world devoted to faking it. If the news is breaking, it’s probably The Fakist that’s breaking it.Pre-order the book here: https://everlyheights.tv/tools/books/the-fakist/the-fakist-breaking-news-by-bill-meeks-ebook-bonus-content/Fakist Merch: https://building-dreamseverly-heights.myspreadshop.com/the+fakist+logo?idea=67ab
