This one came up just now:

The tweet has images of two headlines. One from today, where Max Boot argues that pulling troops out of Syria would be bad. And another from April 19, where Max Boot
appears to argue that pulling troops out of Syria would be good.
Ha ha, we got you, Max Boot!!
Except that the second headline is plainly fake. The typesetting and capitalization are not the work of legitimate newsmen. (It should be an em-dash, not a hyphen; and "We" should be lowercase.) The substance is also unrealistic. ("Can't do anything right" is a terrible overreach.) It just seems obviously made up.
So I looked up Boot's
actual article from that day. The headline is "Trump thinks we can replace U.S. forces in Syria with Arab troops. He’s wrong." It argues that pulling troops out of Syria would be bad.
The fabrication is just stupid.
