(100,133 posts)Its not a damn joke when a site that used to be a trustworthy source for fact-based news becomes a slop-bucket for memes. (Editorial cartoons are a special category, by the way. They arent memes)
DU provides us all with forums to separate actual truth from jokes & satire:
The DU Lounge
Humor
Not to mention those ever-reliable quote marks, which work in subject lines as well.
I like satire I dont like having my leg pulled again and again and again. Tell me up front if its Borowitz or just you competing with Borowitz Report. Ha ha.
I like editorial cartoons, too, but they announce themselves, so to speak. They have a place in GD.
What I really do not like is crap in GD that passes itself off as fact, has no verifiable credible source, and turns out to be not just dubious but false.
Thanks for bringing this up, highplainsdem.
