No.
At any rate, plenty of well-respected journalistic and news authorities aren't above celebrating April Fool's Day. I don't see why we should hold Wikinews to different standards.
Because others hold wikimedia projects to higher standards than traditional media. If the NYT or britanica gets something wrong, then that just shows that no one's perfect. If we get something wrong it proves that this damned new-fangled wiki stuff shouldn't be trusted.
