OK, Ok, maybe not it's creation, but how about 1957 as an example?: Quote:The spaghetti-tree hoax was a three-minute hoax report broadcast on April Fools' Day 1957 by the BBC current-affairs programme Panorama, purportedly showing a family in southern Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from a "spaghetti tree". At the time of the report's broadcast, spaghetti was relatively unknown in the United Kingdom, and a number of viewers contacted the BBC afterwards for advice on growing their own spaghetti trees. Decades later, CNN called this broadcast "the biggest hoax that any reputable news establishment ever pulled". Wisdom knocks quietly, always listen carefully.... and be a River flowing calmly.

He is suing from Florida and needs to prove that audiences in the so-called Sunshine State saw the Panorama programme, in order to prove that it impacted him negatively." "One claim in his filing is that viewers watched via virtual private networks (or VPNs). Even if that is correct, did that happen in significant numbers to cause him reputational damage and can the BBC really be held responsible for the behaviour of unlawful users of its services? Claims about a Canadian company called Blue Ant Media distributing the documentary in the US would be more problematic if true. The company has since confirmed it had the rights to distribute the programme but "none of Blue Ant's buyers have aired it in the US", a spokesperson said. They added that the international version of the Panorama episode did not actually contain the clip of the Trump speech in question, as the programme had been cut down in a number of places for time." BBC declares it will fight the US President but should it? I don't see that Trump will be able to prove he suffered any type of damages.
