The pictures of Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin at the top of the page were all the "satire warning" I needed. Funny stuff!

I think these publications should be required to put their disclaimer under the title of EVERY article they publish - so the disclaimer is read as the first paragraph of the article!

I've been following OTA alerts for awhile but was surprised to see this site. The reason they post a disclaimer is to let people know their stories are fiction. Friends from work told me about the National Report and they love it and I pick up stories from them. The site is listed as satire.

Like the Onion they are a business whose writers write satirical and fictional content. I don't see the threat and if some people fall for a story that's their fault for not being aware of the sites they visit online. Have you guys blocked the Onion, or Jon Stewart, or Stephen Colbert? If I choose to visit satire sites for a laugh I don't need software that blocks me. Satire is an ancient form of literary works. What right do you have to decide what humor is a threat and what is not? Or what forms of literary expression are a threat? You guys are playing BIG BROTHER and I don't need Kerio software to tell me what to read.

The website has since removed their disclaimer page stating that it is satire.

The fake news published by the website can cause public panic and social disruption, which I think is absolutely NOT funny.

Look at the following articles published on www.nationalreport.net, and tell me if you find any of them funny:

1. AS MANY AS 10,000 NYC RESIDENTS POSSIBLY EXPOSED TO EBOLA

2. Texas Town Quarantined After Family of Five Test Positive for Ebola

3. NYPD Officer Kills Baby Following Breastfeeding Argument

These are just some of the many articles they have published, which are not funny. If you have read these articles, you would have realised that there is nothing funny about them.

It's a different age now than when the onion was in print. Everyone knew it was satire. These "satirical" stories attempt to get a lot of hits by deceiving people, by making the story almost real enough to be believed, and crazy enough to be interesting.The Onion was funny. This stuff isn't very funny, they are just trying to be popular at all costs.
