Was Theodore Barrett's wife's accident real?

Most say Theodore Barrett's wife's accident is far from true. The reality of the situation became clearer in the process, and the supposed accident turned out to be untrue because neither Theodore Barrett nor Janie Barrett were real people. A content outlet named The Onion created it as a comedic commentary on political discourse and media sensationalism.

In fact, as of 2008, the Deputy Press Secretary in the White House and under President George Bush's administration was Salvatore Antonio "Tony" Fratto. He is married to Judy, and they have two children, Antonio and Juliette.

None of Salvatore's family members were involved in a ghastly accident, falsifying the story that Theodore Barrett's wife died.
