In the Annals of Ridiculous Headlines and Fake News, this one may be the all time winner:
Dan Rather Creates Graphic Novel To Unite Us
In March 2019, First Second Books launched a new line of political graphic novels, World Citizen Comics, to bring in names such as Dan Rather, Seth Abramson, Jennifer L. Pozner, and more.
Legendary news anchor Dan Rather provides a voice of reason and explores what it means to be a true patriot.

Rather’s vast experience and his unique perspective shed light on who we were and who we are today, allowing us to see a possible future, where we are one country – united.

This New Republic headline is funny just because it is:
Meanwhile, Georgia State University offers the following pronoun choices (and this is not a parody):

Why Movie Car Chases Always Crash Through Fruit Stands
Of all the car-chase clichés, none is more durable than the exploding fruit-stand scene. You know the one: Our sideburned hero is powersliding his ’71 Coronet through the old city of Marrakesh in pursuit of some baddies in a Hilux, when BLAMMO—he turns a corner and runs sideways through a vendor’s cart, turning pomegranates into compost. . . the exploding fruit cart is celluloid gold: Its contents are cheap, it makes a big mess, and it doesn’t bitch about reshoots.
