A '''pseudo-event''' is an event that is staged for the purpose of advancing a media narrative. It is common for journalists themselves to be at the center of these staged media events, due to their acute use of daily reporting to push their agenda.
The [[Killian documents controversy]], which relied entirely upon known-forged documents, was staged. Jim Acosta's activities in the White House Press Room are another example of a staged event.<ref>[https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/emily-ward/mark-levin-cnn-and-jim-acosta-are-not-protecting-freedom-press-theyre-protecting Mark Levin: ‘CNN and Jim Acosta Are Not Protecting Freedom of the Press; They’re Protecting Themselves’]</ref>
