036-The Great Moon Hoax
Показать описание
In 1835 the New York Sun announced that astronomers had discovered bat-winged humanoids on the moon, as well as reindeer, unicorns, bipedal beavers and temples made of sapphire. The fake news was reprinted around the world, impressing even P.T. Barnum; Edgar Allan Poe said that "not one person in ten" doubted the story. In this episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review the Great Moon Hoax, the first great sensation of the modern media age.
We'll also learn why Montana police needed a rabbi and puzzle over how a woman's new shoes end up killing her.
Sources for our segment on the Great Moon Hoax:
Matthew Goodman, The Sun and the Moon, 2008.
The Museum of Hoaxes has an excellent summary of the hoax and its significance in media history, including the text of all six articles.
