The Charlie Hebdo cover that's going viral is fake
An image that's supposedly the next Charlie Hebdo cover went around social media on Friday. The image features a black cover with the text "urgently looking for six cartoonists."
The problem, though, is that the cover isn't the publication's next issue — it was created by a satirical French TV program, Les Guignols de l’info, as a tribute to those lost in Wednesday's attack.
