T O P I C R E V I E WCatalinaI will be first to admit, I once posted a story by the Currant thinking it was on the level.But recently I hsve been wondering just how much of the TeaParty campaign is actually misconstrued satire? Like that really poor piece in the National Report about Obama having a "meltdown" and being sedated thst was posted here awhile ago ...complete with lonely pic if him walking home late at night (all by himself, about the only giveaway IF you don't know the NR calls itself satire)...How about some of those panic headlines about "Obamacare rfid chips"... I know quite a few people nervous about this storyline...as well as the Fema camp threat, what else?Any thoughts? Is Jesse Ventura, fake wrestler, really a satirist literally laughing all the way to the bank the joke being in that people fall for this stuff? Is that why so much of the blogmedia seems too off to be believed?NoRainNoRainbowslol i don't know if this is a US only thing....as where i'm living now, i have a real hard time telling which of he stories are 'real' and which are from the regional equivalent of the onion...due to the amount of times that i have quoted stuff from the 'real' newspaper and to many people laughing and saying 'good one'...i don't think anyone else is sure anymore.Seems the same is happening in the US...juniperbI love satire!! It has enough truth to make you look twice ..but Most in the know see the humor & truth stretching woven within the story lines and usually look into the sites` reputation they are using. I did a satire as truth yrs ago and really got some flak for it.

RumiCatalinaSometimes satirists are subtle enough to draw you in. Sometimes, like the piece about Obsma's "meltdown" they aren't subtle, they come across as real stories...which are called satire when people complain of FALSEhood in "news". The piece here about RFID CHIPPING OF SCHOOLCHILDREN that was linked to my attention yesterday, is even more.I suggest people read what they may have skipped as "conspiracy" doodoo and see what you.think. I have no idea whether the poster read beyond the headline and lurid pics tho i suspect not. CatalinaIf you have any trouble finding"Multiple Wyoming Schooldistricts...." I will link it for you when I get to a computer http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum26/HTML/002132.html CatalinaNoRain, that is really my point. It is hard to tell if the hard-to-believe scare stories are intentionally misleading, attempted satire, or just plain stupidity...My premise is that a lot of them are a mixture of all three. We really have to be AWAKE to find the facts and if we don't shop around we are sure to be mislead.Yet all too many otherwise rational people dig their heels in and insist that THEIR brand of news is the only one that is not a JOKE. What, for instance is this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08RFTI9QR20 Over a million views, that means she is making money from this stuff...NoRainNoRainbowsyeah the one's i came across were just stupidity...."woman still a virgin after having sex" type of news...and this was the main news O_O so naturally i say this to make fun or how 'lala land' some people are, and people start laughing and asking for the name of this satire website again...then i tell him it's the local paper, and confused stares ensuethen when i quote something from the satire websites, the people don't know if they should smile or not so they have facial features that are 'in between' and start asking 'is this true or from that website u can't get enough of?'lol....but what can a person do...journalisim was a respectful thing like 50 years ago, now it's silly as no journalists going to get that story out on their own...their are 'propogandists' being told what to write and how to write it, as brainwashing is a series goal of those in charge...how else would they get most of us to do their biddings after all?NoRainNoRainbowsEWWW wht is wrong with that woman i couldn't get my headphones to listen to what she is saying as just clicked on the video, and WTH was that?!?! yech....everything about her look and flashing her boobs like that is TASTELESS....going to search for decent youtube channels now to get that out of my 'memory' lolNodeSatire posted here in GU is fine, I think we all agree with that. BUT, posting obviously satiristic nuws as real begs the question; what is in their hearts?I don't know who is behind NR, but they cross the line...and aren't really funny either, so, what is the point? Proving the public ability to believe any dross? That is readily available on a daily basis. I tend to think it is the flamers paradise, do they want/need the correction just to get a reply? Or, as died in the wool conspiracy theorist's they believe what they want to believe to support the agenda?A mixture of both surely.Node quote:Originally posted by Ami Anne:Sometimes, I feel like GU is like walking through a Gaslighting fest.
