From their website: Tech Times covers news on technological innovation and how business and technology intersects, influences and impacts different markets and industries to bring about cultural transformation in our lives, and how that is relevant in our increasingly interconnected world. There may be some funny joke-posts, especially on April 1st, but aside from that, the articles here are true.…
I was contemplating marking eBuzzd as both real and satire, seeing as they have a couple items on their site that are kinda sorta true; however, any truth on their site is likely happenstance. eBuzzd represents to me the worst sort of ‘satirical’ page. As of this writing (3-13-2014) the first three articles are all celebrity tragedies, designed solely to…
When Failbluedot joined Reddit 3 months ago, this was their* introduction: Just joined reddit and tried to look if there was a specific place in this subreddit to introduce myself first — sorry if I missed the right place before posting. Russian Jewish atheist in Sydney increasingly interested in SJ issues and decreasing worldsuck. Hello đ The epi-pseudonymous website is…
NBC Claims All Americans Will Be Implanted With Microchips For Obamacare Wrong. theuspatriot.com is full of anti-Obama, anti-progress, anti-Left, anti-Democrat non-news, that either they are being satirical, or they are just being assholes who are pushing wholly incorrect — and already disproved — information. But we’re nice over here at Real or Satire, so we’ll err on the side of…
This is another of those sites that you wouldn’t have any idea it was fake unless you clicked on the “Disclaimer” link up in the header. Per their disclaimer: With fun stories about the Pope commissioning J.K. Rowling to rewrite the Bible and NASA just assuming we already knew about aliens, you can see how WWNews gets its rep as…
NewsWire-24.com is based in the U.K. and geared mostly towards that audience. We looked at two stories, as best we could, to determine if it's real or not. Read onward:
Yes, someone submitted Facebook to RorS. And I wonder if this is more of an existential question: “Is Facebook real? Are we real? Is any of this real??” I don’t have the Ph.D.s required to answer that question for you. And while getting rich from a patchwork pastiche of previous ideas might seem farcical, we can assure you that Facebook…
The Onion is one of the only satire website on the internet that does satire really well. If you didn’t realize that an Onion article was satire, you probably werenât properly reading (and subsequently laughing).
From Iron E-News‘ logo-title: Satire News. Liberal with Humor. Conservative with Truth.
No one should consider this weblication as anything other than satire, especially with article titles such as these: Obama and first lady: mĂ©nage Ă trois with French president was âan official letdownâ Super Bowl outcome to be decided by telekinetic Seattle fan Seventh-grader reveals U.S. at the mercy of nine wizards “But,” you might say, “I heard about those nine…
WARNING: WorldNetDaily (WND), not to be confuzzled with World News Daily, is an American web site that publishes political content from the perspective of U.S. conservatives and the political right. So expect heavy coloring. They are likely the source of many ultra-Right folks’ conservative conspiracies, e.g., Obama’s birth certificate non-issue. But we wouldn’t call WND ‘conserva-nutjobs’ or anything of the…
“Real or Satire Clicked on www.boredomtherapy.com and What They Discovered Will Shock and Awe You Into New Stratospheres of Amazeballsness.” This should give you some idea as to what Boredom Therapy is: clickbait bordering on emoterrorism. To their credit, they’re hardly at the emo-terror-levels of its role-model — Upworthy. But even their website tagline is consistent with the tactic: “Trending…
Someone submitted “canservativetribune.com.” Unfortunately, there’s no such site. But there should be. It would be the perfect snark-site for Conservative Tribune, which we have already talked about. (Seriously, someone should get on that.)
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a “news” site is being satirical, or if they’re just posting fake or incorrect news. Such is the case with YourNewsWire.com. Check this article: It Is Now Illegal To Wear An Anonymous Mask In America Actual report from Arizona Capital Times: Espinoza and Brown said a security official pointed out a man in a…
I must confess: I have a soft spot for jefferly.com. Expect funny observations about life, reposts of funny webcomics, and commentaries on U.S. political goings-on. We mark this one âBiasâ because, well . . . he has one. So expect a fair bit of color.
From their About Page: THE ADOBO CHRONICLES is your source of up-to-date, unbelievable news. Everything you read on this site is based on fact, except for the lies.
DuhProgressive is one of the flurry of sites that came to us about 2 years too late. The site was admittedly satirical, but has since “admitted defeat.” Their site is still up, with articles intact, but they are no longer producing new content. From their Mission Statement: [. . .] Duh Progressive is also here to do is prove that…
As of this writing, 800whistleblower.com has this image on the landing page: â which asks you to visit www.Wistleblower411.com. Click THAT link fires off a series of 2 or 3 redirects in rapid succession, before landing on a page asking you to disable search tracking.

To whomever it may concern: There is no such site as Empirenews.com. There is an empiresports.co, which we have reviewed here.
Consider Death & Taxes more as one big pisstake. It’s primarily a op-ed site, and much of their content is pretty enjoyable to read and safe to reshare. They, too, tend to fall for the occasional misconstruance*, like the Nazi Salute of the Anti-Gay Alternative to the Boy Scout story, which they later updated with a footnote (in smaller font…
