Satirical news

Satirical news (news satire) is a type of parody presented in a format typical of mainstream journalism, and called satire because of its content. News satire relies heavily on irony and deadpan humor.

Two slightly different types of news satire exist.

• One form uses satirical commentary and sketch comedy to comment on real-world news events, while
• the other presents wholly fictionalized news stories.

Satirical news differs from fake news. Fake news is untrue news, presented as real news with the intent to mislead the audience (see Fake news tab).
