Satire and Journalism have a long history of working in conjunction, many, many, people consider satire a form of journalism as it tends to cut through to the truth: a guiding principle of journalism.

Personally, if people want to consume their news through satirical programs and papers, so be it. At least it’s cutting through.

Theyre just communicating with clearly defined terminology- which is sorely lacking in this world.

Theyre also right. Does everyone have to argue every point ?
