On Friday, it was Fox News' turn. Network anchors joked in a segment that they'd asked Donald Trump to turn the White House lights on and off if he was watching the show. Their request was followed by a video clip of a light flashing in a far right window of the building as if he really were playing along.

As Politicoreporter Alex Weprin pointed out, the whole thing was a joke from the producers and presenters. Not even fake news.
