Dunning-Kruger Times is a satirical online newspaper. It is part of a network of websites run by America's Last Line of Defense, with a writer in the state of Maine, all of which state "nothing on this page is real".[1][2] Stories published by Dunning-Kruger have been debunked by Snopes.com,[3] USA Today,[4] Reuters,[5] the Associated Press,[6] and by The Guardian and The Houston Chronicle debunking a story taken for a fact by the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, although it referenced a nonexistent Texas city "Hambriston".[7][8]
