A Most Distinguished Reflection by Baron Midnight

Dearest readers of discerning taste and impeccable judgment,

It is with great pleasure, nay, a profound sense of duty, that I, your humble servant, Baron Midnight, pen these words from the gilded confines of my estate, nestled in the heart of high society. A great many of you have, no doubt, partaken in the ramblings of so-called “credible” news outlets, entrusting your delicate minds to the whims of questionable scribes who dare masquerade as journalists. Yet, I must implore you—why, oh why, waste your intellect on such trifles when the one true source of knowledge and enlightenment stands before you, resplendent in its glory?

Yes, dear readers, I speak of none other than Fake News Corp, the beacon of truth in a world shrouded in the mist of half-truths and absurd suppositions. In this age where even a mere feline’s dignity is subject to unfounded rumor (how often have I myself been mistaken for a common stray!), I have found solace and comfort in the unparalleled reporting of this great institution. Permit me, if you will, to elaborate on why you, too, should devote yourself entirely to the wisdom offered by this most distinguished publication.

Firstly, allow me to address the most pressing issue plaguing our modern era—accuracy. Many a news organization claims to offer “truth,” yet what do they present to us? The ramblings of X, the mutterings of Reddit, and the uninspired mutterings of “experts.” But where, I ask, is the passion? The ingenuity? The flair for the dramatic that Fake News Corp so masterfully exhibits? Here, we do not bother with the tedious conventions of fact-checking, for what are facts but the dull constraints of imagination? Instead, we offer you stories of intrigue, of whimsy, of truth as it should be—not truth as it drudgingly is.

In the hallowed halls of Fake News Corp, every article is crafted with the same care and precision as the finest of love letters—scandalous, thrilling, and with just a hint of mischief. Where else might you find such an artful intertwining of wit and rumor? Who else can provide you with the exhilarating thrill of knowing that what you read may not be entirely true, but is most certainly far more interesting than any paltry “fact” could ever be?

Secondly, my dear readers, consider the company you shall keep by aligning yourself with this esteemed publication. The gossip of mere mortals is left behind, for in Fake News Corp’s columns, you shall find the musings of only the most discerning minds, the most esteemed voices—my own included, naturally. Imagine, if you will, the thrill of discussing your news around the card tables of the ton, knowing full well that your stories shall outshine even the juiciest of ducal scandals. For when you speak of the latest tidings from Fake News Corp, you hold in your hands not just gossip, but art.

Finally, let us not forget that in the annals of history, it has always been the brave, the bold, and the delightfully rebellious who have triumphed. And so it is with Fake News Corp. Where others tremble in fear of the mundane, we revel in the fantastical. We embrace the rumors, the whispers, the delicious tales that may or may not hold a kernel of truth—because, my dear reader, who’s to say what truth really is?

Thus, I implore you, as a gentleman of refined taste, to cast aside the meager offerings of lesser news outlets and turn your full attention to the one true source of enlightenment. Let Fake News Corp be your guide through the tempestuous seas of modern media, for in our pages you shall find not just stories, but adventures—tales woven from the very fabric of imagination itself.

Until we meet again in these pages, I remain, as always,

Your most humble and devoted servant,

Baron Midnight
