Critics Of Mainstream Media Looking Forward To Huffington Post’s Rewrites Of Mainstream Media

The Computer is your friend! Can you doubt the Computer?
Millions who dismiss the established media as fatally dependent on agency copy and press releases were overjoyed today by the launch of a UK version of the Huffington Post, the mould-breaking alternative news source based on bloggers’ fearless and crusading rewrites of mainstream reports based on agency copy and press releases.

“I for one can’t wait to read the weasel words of the discredited UK media miraculously rearranged into God’s own truth by somebody who may or may not have the faintest idea of what they’re talking about,” said Starchild Moonflower, whose enthusiasm for the US original has convinced her that homeopathy has a firm scientific basis. “This really is a game-changing moment for the truth.”

“It’s on the internet, of course, so of course it goes without saying that every single item carries with it a cast-iron guarantee of absolute proof,” explained web-watcher Josh Geake. “You know, many of its contributors don’t even get paid. You can’t get more unbiased than that.”
