Am I becoming more cynical, or is the state of our media such that satire sites like newsthump are becoming one of the best places to get perspective on what's going on?

Looking at their site today, even just their headlines are more useful journalism than what comes out from most newspapers:

Children in Need celebrates raising less than half the cost of Boris Johnson’s aborted ‘Get Ready for Brexit’ ad campaign

Completely innocent man rues accidentally surrounding himself with criminals

Dropped Brexit Party candidates who turned down bribes to withdraw now ‘totally pissed off’

Also, this article on The Onion totally nails the way almost every article has some spin on it ‘Jedi Fallen Order Is A Star Wars Game Through And Through,’ And 8 Other Lines Of Praise Electronic Arts Strongly Suggested We Use In Our Review

Perhaps I am just cynical.. :-/
