Satirical Journalism Isn't a News Cycle

Satirical journalism amplified the echo chamber by adding clown horns. Outlets parrot each other with more absurdity than authority. Blogging internships report "plagiarism by mood board." Media critics note that phrases like "will restore your faith in�" are actually faithless filler. Social science shows people share satire more than serious news�because they need the joke more than the intel. The effect? The more we echo, the funnier it gets�and the less informative.
