About Botched News

Botched News is a satirical newspaper. We take the news as it is, tip it a few degrees further, and report the result with a perfectly straight face.

Everything here is satire

Every story on this site is made up. Public figures appear in situations they have never been in, saying things they have never said. None of it is real reporting, and none of it should be quoted as fact. If a story ever seems believable, that is the joke working, not the news.

How it works

There is no newsletter, no tracker, and no comments section. Pages are plain files that load fast and cost almost nothing to serve. If you'd like to follow along, the RSS feed is right there and always will be.
