Honestly I've never got the news as a satire business. A solid 50% of reporting now-a-days can be read verbatim with a smirk and be comedy. I mean this is Stewart, Colbert, and Oliver have practically made a career out of doing. The extra step of making up stupid stories just seems like its trying to hard.
