Remove thedailymash.co.uk from fakenews

Open electricduck opened this issue 10 months ago β€’ 2 comments

The Daily Mash (thedailymash.co.uk) is not fake news, but satirical news. I believe this should be removed from this list as I noticed The Onion (theonion.com), which is a similar satirical news site, is not included in this list.

According to Wikipedia:

The Daily Mash is a British satirical website providing parodic commentary on current affairs and other news stories. Neil Rafferty (a former political correspondent for The Sunday Times) and Paul Stokes (former business editor of The Scotsman), created the website in 2007 and remain the lead writers. Both writers earn salaries from the enterprise and also employ freelance contributors. The publication has garnered praise for its absurd, scatological humour and insightful political satire. The current editor is comedy writer and former BBC journalist Tim Telling. The Daily Mash has often been compared to the US publication The Onion.
