FN Top 10

In the last few days, Faking News had received some visitors who searched for “Best of Faking News” on Google or other internet search engines; guess they were looking for the “reports” that were most widely read this year.

While maximum views don’t necessarily mean they were the “best of the lot”, but in absence of any other criteria, we would stick to that.

So following are the Top 10 news reports of Faking News published and read (viewed) in the year 2010:

1. An open letter to Sania Mirza (returned by postal department)
