America’s most trusted source for the news, taken exactly as far as it shouldn’t go
Somewhere between the actual headlines and the ones that make more sense, there’s The Daily Farce. Most days that means following a real policy, a real gaffe, or a real institution to its darkest logical conclusion, reported with the same confidence, the same anonymous sources, and the same air of authority as everyone else. The only difference is we admit none of it happened yet.
Other days it just means Robert Plant is Jesus. No promises about which one you’re getting.
What We Cover
- Politics: executive orders, press briefings, and diplomatic incidents, reported with the gravity they deserve and the accuracy they don’t.
- Business: mergers, product launches, and leadership decisions from companies that would sue us if any of this were defamatory instead of just plausible.
- Technology: the platforms, the AI, and the executives who assure us it’s all going fine, narrated slightly ahead of when it actually goes wrong.
- Culture: everything else, none of it real, most of it inevitable.
Our Editorial Standards
- Nothing here happened. Any resemblance to actual events is either coincidence or a five-minute head start.
- Sources are, at minimum, anonymous. Often they are also fictional. We don’t see the distinction as our problem.
- We do not issue corrections, because nothing printed here was ever meant to be correct.
