Genuine Fake News Has Moved

Thank you for visiting.

The Genuine Fake News Network (GFNN) now has its own dedicated home (and shorter URL) where new stories, editorials, and special reports are published.

The new section provides a better newspaper-style experience while allowing the Marcus Goodman website to focus on books, essays, and other projects.

Why The Change?

What began as a small collection of satirical articles quickly developed into an expanding fictional newsroom covering science, philosophy, medicine, technology, bureaucracy, economics, education, and public policy.

Creating a dedicated section makes it easier to organize new stories, introduce recurring departments, and expand the fictional universe behind GFNN.

If You're New Here...

GFNN presents serious ideas through completely straight-faced satire.

Many stories begin with real scientific research, genuine philosophical questions, or recognizable cultural trends before quietly descending into fictional government committees, academic task forces, compliance reviews, and administrative reports that become progressively more absurd while remaining just plausible enough to make readers briefly question whether they somehow missed the headline.

If you enjoy intelligent satire presented with complete sincerity, you're in the right place.

Our Commitment To You, The Reader

GFNN is committed to maintaining the highest standards of fictional journalism.

Every quotation has been carefully invented.

Every expert has been thoroughly fabricated.

Every government department exists only where required for comedic purposes.

Any resemblance to real organizations, real officials, actual consultants, existing regulations, or current public policy is either entirely coincidental or statistically inevitable.

Notice Regarding Future Jurisdiction

The Genuine Fake News Network is presently operating as a provisional publication within the Marcus Goodman website while administrative preparations continue for its eventual transition to GFNN.us.

The relocation is expected to occur following completion of the customary planning process, technical implementation, editorial organization, and whatever additional procedural requirements emerge after those items have already been completed.

Until that time, all official fictional journalism shall continue to be published under this temporary administrative arrangement.

Readers are advised that the news will remain equally fabricated regardless of domain name.

Notice Regarding Administrative Reorganization

Pursuant to internal discussions, several informal conversations, and a level of confidence not fully supported by project management methodology, the Genuine Fake News Network (GFNN) has been administratively reassigned to its own dedicated location.

This determination follows a preliminary finding that attempting to organize an expanding collection of fictional journalism within a single webpage represented an increasingly ambitious interpretation of modern information architecture.

Visitors seeking fabricated news reports, fictional government announcements, imaginary research findings, and professionally administered bureaucratic absurdity are respectfully directed to the newly designated newsroom.

The Department of Website Continuity has advised that the relocation should not be interpreted as an admission that the previous arrangement was inadequate.

It merely became administratively difficult to pretend otherwise.

About the Author

Marcus Goodman writes practical nonfiction on health, longevity, and aging, as well as rational absurdism, science fiction/fantasy, hard science fiction, and satirical commentary that examines modern culture through fictional news reporting. Although the styles differ considerably, both are driven by curiosity about science, philosophy, and the often surprising consequences of human behavior.

Current Editorial Development Status

The Genuine Fake News Network remains under active development.

Departments, editorial priorities, recurring fictional organizations, publication schedules, and administrative procedures continue to evolve as additional committees complete the paperwork necessary to authorize further imaginary journalism.

Accordingly, readers may occasionally encounter stories that appear before the departments responsible for overseeing them have officially been established.

This is considered normal.

Areas Currently Under Administrative Review

Current reporting may include subjects such as:

  • Scientific discoveries nobody requested
  • Philosophical questions requiring additional paperwork
  • Medicine, health policy, and institutional decision-making
  • Artificial intelligence and the humans attempting to supervise it
  • Government agencies that probably should not exist
  • Universities, research institutes, and committees studying other committees
  • Economics, incentives, and unintended consequences
  • Technology and its increasingly creative applications
  • Human behavior under professionally managed circumstances

Additional departments may be created whenever sufficient fictional funding becomes available.
