Read before reacting...

This is obvious satire.

      He was recently gaslighting about Canada saying we have been the aggressors this entire time and we started “elbows up” and US boycotts for no reason. The guy is a right cunt.

      This article is not far from truth.

    The onion is good at satire news because their headlines are comedic, and have a twist.

    The Beaverton is bad at this. The US has threatened all of those things. There’s no comedic twist. This headline entirely plausible, just misattributed to someone else in the administration. Its not a satirical headline, its just false and alarminst, like most actual news online these days.

      Yes. The US ambassador actually kicked a live beaver, spit on a photo of Terry Fox, etc. That’s stuff that actually happened and is thus not satire. And the Onion is better as satire because it spells it out for you in the headline, thus not requiring you to do things like “read” and “think”. The Onion totally isn’t a vapid shadow of what it once was since VCs took it over.

    This US ambassador to Canada is ambassador to Canada because the Netherlands laughed him out of the country pretty much in his first day when the press just wiped the floor with him

      It’s obvious satire if you READ THE ACTUAL ARTICLE. Hence “read before reacting”.

      I know that the attention span of the younger generation has been crippled, hence the warning to read before reacting. Which of course was itself too much reading for people to do before reacting.
