My single favorite report was on this one.

Misleading title, it's not clear this is a parody post.

For those that don't know, it's a parody.

It is obvious because of "couches", but apart from that, it could have been 100% Fox "News".

Making parodies in modern times is a difficult business. You make up a joke, just to see that reality just overtook you with the pedal to the metal.

It sucks that I was unsure at "unemployed minors," because the party is overtly pro-child labor and that bad at optics.

Honestly the only thing that threw me off is taxes on couches. Otherwise I would've thought this was real

That was where I figured it out too.

Nah I was completely ready to believe that Fox News would take a joke Walz made about couches (which I knew he did) and claim it was an assault on money and freedom.

I really can't tell with this reality anymore

I honestly didn't believe you until I saw the "Tax on corporate profits, couches"
