    I think I missed something, aren’t satirical articles supposed to be funny?

      Yes, satire is often scathing and pokes fun at the current state of affairs. Personally, I found it tragically funny. Like, if I didn’t laugh at the dark humor. I might cry.

          That was more of a general statement about satire, it doesn’t always apply. I don’t know if I can fill in the blanks on what you are not seeing.

      Humor is subjective. Making political statements using humor is a common practice.
