Cast of Writers:
LeRoy Jenkins
Head Writer & Editor-in-Chief, FakeNews4U
LeRoy Jenkins is the seasoned, no-nonsense head writer and editor of FakeNews4U, a role he’s embraced with the kind of wit and wisdom that only comes from over 40 years in the media game. Known for his sharp tongue and razor-edged satire, LeRoy brings a wealth of experience to the table—having worked in various editorial capacities from print journalism to viral blog posts (long before it was trendy).
An elder statesman of fake news, LeRoy’s roots run deep in both the African-American community and the world of irreverent humor. A master of blending history, culture, and absurdity, his work pokes fun at everything from politics to pop culture while reflecting a deep understanding of the human condition—and an equally deep love for making people laugh at it.
When he’s not tirelessly crafting the next viral article, LeRoy enjoys a quiet evening with his crossword puzzles, a cup of chamomile tea, and ruminating on the absurdity of modern life. Just don’t ask him to teach you how to “go viral.” That’s for the young folks.

Eugene “Gene” Thompson
Head Writer, FakeNews4U
Eugene Thompson, known around the office as “Gene the Machine,” is the elderly, sharp-witted head writer at FakeNews4U. A native of small-town Midwestern America, Eugene’s dry humor and unapologetic cynicism come from decades of watching everything from cornfields to cable news evolve into the absurd spectacles they are today. With over 50 years in the writing game (starting with his high school newspaper, where he was, frankly, too good for them), Eugene knows exactly how to punch up a headline with the precision of a farmer using a scythe.
Gene’s unique brand of satire is a mix of folksy wisdom and an uncanny ability to see through the B.S. of modern life—whether it’s politics, social media trends, or the inexplicable obsession with pumpkin-flavored everything. Though he has a fondness for quiet nights, jigsaw puzzles, and sipping a cold root beer, Eugene’s pen is never far from paper, and he’s always ready to craft the next great piece of absurdity. Just don’t ask him for help with your Wi-Fi—it’s all “too newfangled” for him.

Ja’lele Carter
Award-Winning Writer, FakeNews4U
Ja’lele Carter is the award-winning, razor-sharp writer at FakeNews4U, known for her fearless takes on everything from social media trends to the state of modern politics. Hailing from Chicago, Ja’lele brings an unapologetically bold voice to the newsroom, blending her love for pop culture with a keen eye for the ridiculousness of the world around her. Whether she’s skewering the latest viral meme or unpacking the absurdities of influencer culture, Ja’lele writes with a quick wit that’s earned her praise, awards, and an impressive Instagram following (for completely unrelated reasons).
Her humor is unapologetically unapologetic—sharp, relevant, and sometimes so real it stings. When she’s not cranking out headline-worthy satire, you can find Ja’lele sipping iced coffee, keeping tabs on Twitter beefs, or, more likely, plotting her next big viral hit. But don’t let her young age fool you—she’s a writer whose talent is already leaving a lasting mark on FakeNews4U and the world of satirical comedy.

Paaj Xiong
Writer, FakeNews4U
Paaj Xiong is a writer for FakeNews4U, a Hmong mother of five, and a tireless advocate for social justice and equal rights. Hailing from Milwaukee, Paaj channels her experiences as an educator and community organizer into biting satire that tackles everything from systemic inequality to the absurdity of modern-day activism. Her unique perspective and sharp humor provide a much-needed voice in the newsroom, whether she’s writing about the latest political circus or the quirks of suburban life.
When she’s not juggling deadlines and her growing collection of middle school report cards, Paaj is rallying for causes she believes in, one tweet at a time. A fierce believer in the power of education to change the world, Paaj’s writing reflects a deep understanding of people, culture, and the sometimes hilarious mess that is humanity. And despite being the mother of five—who probably still knows where you left your keys—Paaj always makes time to fight for the world she wants her kids to inherit.

Pedro Alvarez
Writer, FakeNews4U
Pedro Alvarez is a young, sharp-witted writer for FakeNews4U, originally hailing from Ecuador and now navigating the chaos of New York City. With a background in both journalism and poetry, Pedro effortlessly blends the art of storytelling with the relentless pursuit of absurdity. His writing is as much about sharp satire as it is about crafting the perfect turn of phrase—whether he’s skewering the latest celebrity scandal or composing a poignant piece on why the coffee in Brooklyn is, indeed, superior.
Pedro’s unique blend of cultural perspective and literary chops make him the go-to writer for anything that requires a dash of both wit and heart. When he’s not at the FakeNews4U office, you’ll find him contemplating the intersection of absurdity and art over a double espresso, or possibly at an open mic somewhere, trying to figure out how to work “late capitalism” into a haiku.
