Why do you call that fake news? Is there something in it that is not true?

It is not true to say that those people got million dollar stimulus checks nor did they "get large sums of money", what they got was a tax break that allowed them to keep their money instead of having it confiscated by the government. It's fake news that the article and Oline both presented it as the former for shock value. As I said, it amazes how angry people get when other people don't have their money taken from them.

Oh, I get it now. You are correct. The headline is inaccurate, probably on purpose.
