That was pretty good. Haven't even heard of this site before.

It’s an Australian onion.

Ireland has Waterford whispers news.

I’m sure most countries have a satire news site, these days. They can be hit and miss, but often the hits are worth the misses.

It's like sketch comedy lol

To be fair, I don’t think Menino was campaigning against moderation, fact-checking, and constantly spreading hateful lies about vulnerable people all under the guise of free speech.

No but he sure got mad about the joke.

[-] sonori@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

In his case reporting a random town politician died because it’s April 1 is not much of a joke. Publishing a bunch of outlandish lies about someone who themselves constantly lies is also not much of a joke, but it is an excellent use of satire and turnabout.

Yes, sorry that one story about someone’s fake death reminded me about another story about someone’s fake death.

[-] sonori@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

I found the article on the fake death and the consequences interesting. I just felt that the ethics of the situations are rather different.
