"Kayfabe news" sites? - robkelk - 02-09-2019
Pulling this out of Politics...

Reading this got me wondering - where are the decent "kayfabe news" sites out there? Looking for recommendations... and raw material for an All The Tropes index.
I'm aware of:
- The Onion: The site everybody's heard of (except for the people who haven't). General satire.
- The Beaverton: Canadian satire.
- Walking Eagle News: "The foremost leader in the world of Indigenous journalism". (If you read nothing else at this site, make the time to read the About page, which includes the FAQ.)
What else is there out there along the same line?

Oh, geeze, there was the place that hooked me a few years ago with the article about how film industry was going to insist that more than six people watching a large-screen TV counted as a "public showing" on which license fees had to be paid. I can't remember the name, though.
