FAKE NEWS VS SATIRE :The Daily Obscurer : muddling with reality. daily reports.

in #satire7 years ago (edited)

Fake news is such an over-used buzzword at the moment, with satire sites being flagged as fake news by the comically unaware on a regular basis.
The fact is that comedy and satire are equally effective at providing a narrative of current events as mainstream news that it's criminal how much valid discussion goes unrecognised for the social commentary it represents. I'll be posting and reposting various satire links on my account under the follwing tags #dailyobscurer #satire #rochdalerepost #penance #fakenews
Hope you enjoy ;)
