    My single favorite report was on this one.

    Misleading title, it’s not clear this is a parody post.

    For those that don’t know, it’s a parody.

      It is obvious because of “couches”, but apart from that, it could have been 100% Fox “News”.

      Making parodies in modern times is a difficult business. You make up a joke, just to see that reality just overtook you with the pedal to the metal.

        It sucks that I was unsure at “unemployed minors,” because the party is overtly pro-child labor and that bad at optics.

        I’d say it’s innacurate.

        TBH I reported it. I think the title should at least suggest its a parody, though I’m not sure if OP knows it is.

      Gotta think about it because the ‘right’ ‘wing’ is pretty weird and fox is a fire in a bin outside a Gregs in Rotherham but no, the couch fucker tax is a giveaway.

        Couches. If it’s a couch, it’s probably parody.

        Remember, trump has said they’re not talking about couches.

        Edit: For the record though, look for the “what a monster” interview. I can’t seem to find the original clip
