News satire also called fake news is a type of parody presented in a format typical of mainstream journalism and called a satire because of its content. News satire has been around almost as long as journalism itself but it is particularly popular on the web where it is relatively easy to mimic a credible news source and stories may achieve wide distribution from nearly any site. News satire relies heavily on irony and deadpan humor.
