There's nothing wrong with satire, but people ought to mark it as such, when posting to a list filled with weak-minded and ideologically blinded individuals.
I've long said the same thing about the purported 'news' stories carried by the mainstream press, but the replies I have received from the news giants merely state that their office gang all had a good laugh over my 'satire'. Until the mainstream press begins marking their articles with such labels/disclaimers as 'half-truth'/'politically-biased'/'government- handout'/'self-serving'/'total-bullshit', etc., then I see no reason to require such labeling by individual netizens who may well be doing nothing more than writing the news of the near-future.
