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.
