Satire = joke + partial truth. It can become misinformation when people lack the sensibility to see or hear the actual joke and/or miss the partial truth .. nothing here to read, move along, move along.
- newman8r 8y agoHaving the sensibility to consistently understand humor and satire is something a lot of HN readers probably take for granted. When I was 10 years old I probably only understood half the jokes on the simpsons - it makes re-watching those old episodes entertaining.
