| Description | Times-Union readers want to know:
Did President Barack Obama’s 19-year-old son actually appear at the Democratic National Convention?
Many local inboxes and Facebook pages received versions of a viral email saying that Obama’s rarely seen son Luther, “a shy slightly overweight teen who has lived all of his life with his mother in central Illinois,” appeared with the president on the convention stage. The relationship between the two is described in the email as “somewhat distant and occasionally strained.”
The email was traced by various fact-finding organizations to The Onion, a website that publishes all manner of satires and spoofs. It’s meant to be funny, not factual. |
