11:10Now PlayingA Palestinian village has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Israel is throwing open its doors to refugees. Those were some of the headlines that appeared in a fake version of The New York Times distributed across New York City on Tuesday. The paper carried the slogan "All the news we didn’t print." The prank copy of the revered "Gray Lady" also announced Democratic presidential candidate "Hilarity Clifton" planned to quit the presidential race to head up a women’s nonprofit based in Ramallah. The edition even has fake ads. Volunteers distributed 10,000 copies of the fake paper, but no group took responsibilityuntil now. Jane Hirschmann of Jews Say No! tells Democracy Now! her group and Jewish Voices for Peace produced the paper. We speak to Hirschmann and Ben Norton, journalist at Salon.
