At Fake News Corp, we believe in sparing no one from our satire, embracing an unflinching, non-partisan approach that critiques every side equally—no sacred cows, just pure, unbiased humor.
In today’s fiercely divided world, satire has become a battlefield. Many media outlets have aligned themselves with particular ideologies, delivering humor and critique that often skews toward one side of the political spectrum. But at Fake News Corp, we have a different approach: equal-opportunity satire. We believe that when it comes to holding power to account, everyone—from the top brass to grassroots organizers, left or right—deserves a fair share of scrutiny. And while not everyone loves our “take no prisoners” style, others have come to respect, and even embrace, the raw honesty behind it.
At Fake News Corp, we believe our commitment to true non-partisanship is vital. In a time when political divides seem irreparable, our unfiltered approach can remind readers that humor, like criticism, is a universal language.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled about being in our crosshairs. After all, few people enjoy seeing their viewpoints or political idols satirized. “It’s frustrating that Fake News Corp doesn’t just pick a side,” says Susan M., a devoted follower of a major political party who wishes our humor was more selective. “I feel like some jokes could be better directed toward those who are really ruining the country, but instead, they insist on going after everyone equally. It’s exhausting!”
Another reader, Jake B., who initially appreciated our humor, admitted his enthusiasm waned when we published pieces satirizing his favorite political figures. “It’s like they have no loyalty,” he laments. “I thought Fake News Corp was on our side, but they just rip into everyone. There’s no sacred cow to them, and honestly, that gets tiring.”
This sentiment isn’t rare. Often, part of the backlash stems from the fact that we challenge deeply held beliefs across the board. From skewering politicians to corporate giants, activists, and everything in between, we’re consistently equal in our treatment. And yet, this mission sometimes means losing a reader or two along the way.
However, our non-partisan stance has also gained us a following of readers who appreciate the transparency and fearlessness that come with making fun of everyone—especially when it’s done with wit and insight. “They’re not trying to sell us a message or a political agenda,” says longtime fan Linda R. “They just highlight the absurdity in everything. It’s refreshing and, in a way, very honest.”
Others have lauded us for offering the kind of humor and critique that mainstream media often shies away from. “Honestly, it’s good to see someone go after everyone equally,” remarks Tim K., a political science professor. “It’s all too common to see outlets selectively target only the opposition, which only furthers the divide. Fake News Corp doesn’t do that, and it’s a breath of fresh air.”
For Tim and others like him, our work offers a unique counterbalance to polarized media. Instead of further entrenching people in their viewpoints, our satire invites readers to take a step back and view situations with a little more humor—and a lot less partisanship.
The reason for our non-partisan stance is simple: satire and journalism should have the freedom to explore the good, the bad, and the absurd without the constraints of ideology. By embracing a non-partisan approach, we aim to reach readers who understand that humor is an invaluable tool for holding everyone—regardless of political affiliation—accountable.
In addition, non-partisan satire serves as a reminder that no one person or institution has a monopoly on truth, wisdom, or virtue. In skewering every side, we’re underlining that while each group believes it has the answers, all of them are equally prone to folly, self-importance, and hypocrisy.
We recognize that our approach won’t win everyone’s approval. Some readers will always want a little more edge directed toward their ideological adversaries, while others might wish we’d stop poking fun at their cherished beliefs. But ultimately, we’re here to provide a space where humor isn’t bound by allegiance to one group or another. We’ll continue making fun of everyone—not out of malice, but out of an earnest desire to keep our readers laughing, thinking, and, ideally, seeing through the partisanship that permeates so much of today’s media.
So, whether you laugh with us, cringe a little, or feel that pang of frustration when your “side” takes a hit, know that it’s all part of our mission to deliver a truly unfiltered look at the world. At Fake News Corp, we’re here to call it as we see it—and to make everyone laugh, one equal-opportunity jab at a time.
