That's always disappointing because it makes the narrative a bit less believable whereas fleshed out ones like these make that alternative world seem quite real.

I know it doesn't exist, but I'd like to have one of these newspapers with the IBBC articles. Not because I'm a huge fan of the movie. It'd just be cool to have a whole newspaper, a big thick New York Times which seems real, but is filled with news stories which are completely fictitious.
