...but I think you understand the difference here. Jones, limpballs, vannity, savage, levine...and turd blossoms like this parasite are NOT using satire and parody and humor as their vehicle. They are shoveling their propaganda and misinformation as "fact". There is a big difference.

I honestly don't know of anyone who repeats a satire as fact they may have heard on Colbert or Samantha Bee's humor as fact; although there is often more fact than I'd like to admit at times.

This is a weak comparison of what distortions of reality you might dig up on the left to pit against the intentional misinformation that is pumped out methodically on the right from their sources. BIG difference.
