From The Daily Mail, 12/15/2015 comes this headline:
"Clever prankster fools thousands of people after creating a fake Facebook feud between a 'moron' conservative and a 'witty' liberal troll to poke fun at political tensions"
(Google headline to read entire article)

(From article)

- A user named 'Robert Graves' relentlessly baited his ultra-conservative friend, 'Brendan Sullivan,' by repeatedly knocking his offensive posts
- Their fake exchanges caused a stir on the internet because nearly everyone can relate to having an ignorant Facebook friend like 'Brenden'
- The prankster came clean about the hoax today, saying he fabricated it to make fun of the political firestorm between liberals and conservatives
