"The WWN was the progenitor of what is now an entire fake-news genre, including the Onion and 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.' Its imprint on pop culture extended to off-Broadway, where "Bat Boy: The Musical" was a hit. And it was immortalized in the 1997 film 'Men in Black,' in which Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) called the WWN the 'best damn investigative reporting on the planet.'"
Mark Miller in the Los Angeles Times bids farewell to the print edition of the Weekly World News.
