Satire and false news

Satire has been defined as “quick bite – no wound”. False news is simply a series of repeated lies in the proper format. The latter is intended to frighten people for the benefit of the teller. Satire is intended to relieve the stress for the brighter segments of the population (people who can read) by making them laugh at society.

False news intends to alarm, mislead, confuse and provoke while satire attempts to tickle the intellect with often humorously veined juxtaposition of realities, pointed hyperbole and brash exaggerations…

False news: Liberals stocking up on arms –
Satire: Liberals eating raw bullets on the half shell with slightly chilled Chilean chardonnay –
