Option 1.

Yeah.............. Yeah,............. Option 1........definitely...... Option 1.

 

[Klunker]

Option 1! Otherwise, "satire" can be quite subjective. If we make fun of one politician... because he/she deserves it... is that satire? Let's keep politics in this folder!!

Does option 1 include photoshopped pictures or copy-n-paste cartoons with no other actual content?

I ask because there is also this to consider:

"10. THREAD CREATION

The opening post of a thread sets the topic and the tone of the discussion. It should contain a member's opinions or questions with sufficient elaboration to establish a foundation for respectful discussion and debate. Threads should not be posted in the wrong forum, or be duplicates of other threads and/or topics (creating multiple threads with fundamentally the same topic is not allowed). Images, links, quotations, etc., should be used to support a member's opinion, not to replace it. Thread titles should be a description of the thread topic (and if not they may be altered by the moderators). Whether a thread has sufficiently set a basis for respectful debate on the thread topic will be at the discretion of the moderators."

i think most people understand we're talking about "original content" here - not someone elses copywrited work being posted in PJ

I think you and I understand it but I don't think "most people" here do or care about the distinction.

Option 1 for original satire only (i.e., bdtex's concern)

Option 2 for links or cut-and-paste crap

Satire has a long and distinguished history as form of political commentary going back centuries. Of course it should be carried in this section. It is a writing tool. The individual pages here should be aligned by subject matter rather than language convention, IMO.

 

[EatTheRich]

Option 1.

If they're dumb enough everyone will ignore them until they drop to the next page.

I don't believe you.

I believe posters here are ALL a cut above most Americans and they/ we CAN care and understand the distinction.
You are shortchanging the posters here with this remark, bd.

Even the ones I fight with the most have a lot more political savvy than most Americans.

That said, if it is a cut and paste, it would be a good idea to post the source up front. Most of us know or can easily find out if the source is a satire source and obtw.........FOX is a news source and a strong one and that should not be in question.

I don't think so. I think I'm right on the mark.

I'd go with option 1. I'm not a fan of the kind of "satire" we see here, but it does strike me as being legitimately directed at commenting on the latest political news, and I wouldn't want to see it moved into a forum on humor, where few would see it.

Just to be clear, my "agree" doesn't go for the last line.

It's still true whether you agree or not.
MSM is dying because it ignores the news that Fox has the guts to report.
So be it.

The few stupid people (and I say a "few" because bd assures me that not ALL posters are relatively smart and he's a moderator after all so he knows more than I do) so, the few stupid people here that won't recognize satire for what it is need to come up to speed. That's all.
