Whoopi Goldberg To Leave America with Megan Rapinoe: ‘We Get No Respect Here’?
On September 6, 2023, SpaceXMania.com reported that Whoopi Goldberg and Megan Rapinoe were planning to leave America due to feeling disrespected. The satirical article claimed they made this decision after a brunch conversation about their frustrations with public criticism—Goldberg for her controversial opinions on The View and Rapinoe for a missed penalty kick. However, the story was not factual and originated from a satirical website.
A similar satirical story appeared on The Dunning-Kruger Times, another satirical outlet, on the same day. Both websites acknowledged their satirical nature in Facebook comments, but many readers mistakenly believed the claims about Goldberg and Rapinoe. These articles were part of a larger trend where satire is misinterpreted as real news.
