Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views.

I miss the winks and smileys. If this is a sincere expression of the authors view as a journalist, then I have another quote from Nietzsche comes to mind;

I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.

If we can’t trust newspapers to write about facts and can’t hold at least a little bit of objectivity, then ‘the’ news is really I mean *really* bankrupt.
