The title of the thread is :
Mainstream Media Accepts Government’s Right to Censor News
There are ways of browsing & accessing stories where there is no heads up that it is satire. John doesn’t want to put it into the title because then very few freepers will be interested, and he misses out on his puerile gotcha high-fives.
Perhaps you are right. I don’t typically browse by subject.
But below the titles of his articles it states...SemiNews SemiSatire in bold print. It doesn’t seem nefarious to me at all.
What I typically do when browsing the board is..if I don’t like the subject...I just close the thread and move on. Lots of people enjoy subjects and writing styles that differ from my own.
