Yeah, Roman Polanski went through hell and back during the Holocaust, the kind we can’t even imagine - and his pregnant wife was murdered by the fucking Manson Family. Still doesn’t give him a pass to drug and rape a 13-year-old.

I teach a unit on Media Literacy to my high schoolers and one type of fake news is actually poorly done “satire” sites. Major sites like the Onion are considered satire due to their higher quality and longevity. There are a LOT of small websites that claim to be satire but the content is simply not clever or good

Whenever anyone says “the media” I immediately think they’re kind of dumb. “The media” consists of thousands of individual outlets staffed by millions of individual people, all with their own points of view. Everyone who watches TV, uses the internet, listens to podcasts, etc. consumes “the media.” It’s absurd to boil

Yeah at first I found the idea of the 2016 election being “hacked” with Facebook memes a little odd, but then I realized Facebook memes are where 90% of conservatives get their information.

When facts and the news are not on your side that else are you supposed to do? Admit you are wrong? I think not.

Even liberal comedians have a hard time out-parodying a GOP that is already of parody of itself these days. (I haven’t always agreed with the GOP, but I used to be able to respect it.)

I have a cousin who posts links to reaganwasright.com (the site has gone away ... bummer) who would do so most likely without reading beyond the headline. The site was fake and written to intentionally troll conservatives. There were disclaimers all over the site pointing out that it was fake and included links in the

I so regularly see people un-ironically sharing BB stories in Twitter replies that I had no idea it was a satire site. I wonder what percentage of its readers don’t realize that fact. This is the same group that (repeatedly) fell for the Onion’s “Abortion-Plex” story. 

You know that rooftop or patio they’re standing on has been haunted by eerie green lights and moans ever since that photo was taken.

Can you imagine the toxicity in that marriage? She showed herself to be just as desperately needy this last season, and incredibly narcissistic. How on earth those two co-existed for any amount of time in what must have been a constant balancing act between the one-upping and ego stroking. Ugh.

Even if people are Trump supporters, why do they all look the same? They might as well wear an armband, except they're doing it with a hair style and make-up

The Babylon Bee wouldn’t need fact-checked so often on Snopes if its readers didn’t keep circulating its stories as true. While the first reader might repost to Facebook or wherever with full knowledge that it’s satire, the second reader grabs that moron ball from the repost, runs it all the way to the end zone, and

I routinely mistake Babylon Bee headlines for Daily Caller and Steven Crowder (among others). headlines. The problem is that so-called legitimate political positions on the right are often so wacky that there’s not much room left to create humor by making statements so “extreme” that reasonable people would assume

1) But she and Kelsey are Trump supporters. Kelsey Grammer is known Republican booster and supporter. Just because they produced Girlfriends and Kelsey has gone through hell in his youth and had a terrible addiction problem does not then mean that they don’t value money and low key White supremacy.

This is too meta for me this morning.

“Conservative comedy” has always been an oxymoron. See: Dennis Miller, Jesse Watters.

To sum up:

Right wing people live in a dark fantasy world.

I honestly thought this was a great photo of Kellyanne Conway.

Camille Grammer looks like a Trump supporter. Do they give out gift bags with hair bleach and a make-up kit to all women who vote republican? Or is it part of the collective psychosis that has gripped the US? Either way, they should wear name tags or something
