Beyond ‘fake news’: The reality of the left

BFH for American Thinker.

There was a time when a “satire” disclaimer didn’t need to be added to a headline like “From Now On Taco Bell Will Only Serve Customers of Mexican Descent.”  It was a given that it was comedy.  But now that a major political party says and does things equally ridiculous, how can you fault someone for republishing a parody site’s creative writing as straight news?

  1. Fur, I’m so proud of you! I have a warm fuzzy in my heart for American Thinker. They posted some of your agitprop and I followed one to iOTW way way way back when.

    Excellent article. Write more for them (I hope you get paid!).

  2. I’m sure the writers and editors at the Onion, MAD magazine, and other satire publications never expected their greatest competition to come from the NYT, CNN, et al…

  3. “The point remains: how in the world can the left be offended by fake news when the real news about the left is so ludicrous?”

    Because the “outrage” is FAKE. Only to the delusional mind is it real.
    It’s “conditioning”…as in “two minutes of…”.

  4. “It’s not that I ever thought Andrew Cuomo does the New York Times crossword puzzle in pen, but I didn’t think he simply filled the boxes in, outside the lines, with crayon, either… until now.”

    andrew cuomo cannot have crayons ever since that incident on the short bus after he was caught eating crayons and licking windows.

    excellent editorial BFH !

  5. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen was a group of Mexican farm workers that didn’t speak English much at all trying to order at the counter some Chinese food from a migrant that didn’t speak English much at all.
    Hilarity ensued.
    Worth the price of admission.

  6. Great column BFH.

    The picture of the sign saying “Behead Those….” reminds me of the classic 1947 movie “Treasure of the Sierra Madre”. When a guy accuses the Humphrey Bogart character of not being uncivilized, the Bogart character says “Who Ain’t Civilized”, smashes him in the face and knocks him down.

    People laughed at that. Of course, it is no laughing matter about the sign.

  7. My ‘World’ stocks the widest selection of Mints and Gums. A Cornucopia of filled Kwick-e-Carts.
    Aisles of voluntary flavors sprouted in sunshine, shadow and moonlight hues. Pet friendly flavor savouries baked on site too. Yay Team.
