Just the fact that CNN anchor Anderson Cooper seemed so astonished that something appeared on Twitter that wasn’t true is surprising, and kind of endearing. Believe it or not, “ClickHole” isn’t any more of a reputable news source than CNN, but rather a parody site spun off from The Onion.
Ummm… @Clickhole, do u make this stuff up? I never said this quote and never spoke to the NYU class of 2015. https://t.co/oRSDgpQXxx

@andersoncooper @ClickHole Maybe you did and forgot? I mean… it's on the interwebs, so it must be true.

It's hilarious when celebrities like @andersoncooper get all upset and confused by satirical comedy like @ClickHole.

@andersoncooper I think @Clickhole's thing was supposed to be humorous/parody. That's not to say it was either… #weak
