Questioned for making the real sound fake

The Columbia County Commission Of News Article Viability And Reality Oversight Organization (CCCONAVAROO) held a Special Emergency Public Forum General Meeting Of Urgency (commonly called an SEPFGMOU) on Thursday March 31 to determine the viability of a recent "epic" news story regarding a quilt and UPS. The story, which will not seem to die, was determined to be, in fact, true by the CCCONAVAROO at the SEPFGMOU, despite sounding made up. Consequently, no charges have been filed, however, CCCONAVAROO Chairman Clint Ring said, “There is still a question as to whether Mr. Smart acted irresponsibly.” Ring explained, “ I mean, does that story even sound real?” When asked by reporters what he thought a “responsible” approach to the story might have been, Ring said, “Make something up. If that’s news, I mean, If that’s really all you’ve got for a NEWS story, I think the public would rather you just flat out invent an interesting story to report. Who cares if it’s true.”? Speaking under condition of anonymity, a high-ranking Fox News exec dining at Wasana's in Catskill echoed Ring’s sentiments, saying, “Of course you should fabricate the news. Duhh.” Smart refused to comment in depth, saying only, “I have to get Milo to the bus,” which prompted CCCONAVAROO to question whether this “Milo” really exists. No further SEPFGMOUs have been called.
