PSA: If it comes from the following, it's fake news; satire.

29. I like the cartoons just fine--it's quite clear what they are.

Same deal with Colbert--there's no mystery about what his schtick is.

But I don't care for the "too clever by half" habit of posting something from that (lousy, if you ask me) Daily Currant without a notation that it is satire.

These posts are invariably followed by people saying things like "Oh, that's outrageous..." or "There oughta be a law..." or "How can he/she get away with that?"

That's interdispersed with a dozen posts saying "No, no--it's satire" "Click the link--it's bad satire..." etc. ad nauseum.

If it's going to go into GD, it should be prefaced with a great big SATIRE caveat.

Otherwise, all it's doing is chain-jerking some of our, er, less attentive members. That makes the place kinda suck, IMO.
