With all of the technology that surrounds us these days, it is not unusual to be hit with the same news story many different times during the day. Depending on how you get your news, you may get several different slants on the same story (many stations call that sort of slanting “editorializing”). The Internet even gets into the act, with each major news organization having their own presence on the Web. Well, have I found one news site that puts a little different slant on the mainstream news. Boy howdy do it.
The name of the site is Broken Newz. Broken Newz is a satire news and entertainment site. All names, except when public figures are being satirized due to their own stupidity, are made up and purely coincidental if connected in any way. The stories listed on this site are not real (really). Broken Newz is only intended for a mature audience, and not for your mothers or wives or daughters. (Maybe your sweetheart, but I’ll leave that up to you).
Currently you can read about Barry Bonds supporting Pete Rose’s Hall of Fame ban, the top 10 party places to go on spring break, and (my favorite headline) Marines to Congress: “Bite This.” The variety of stories here is really unique, and once you have set down and read all of them, you’ll realize that while they may be satirical, they could just as easily be read by your favorite info-babe or -dude. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site an 8.0 based on the Marines headline, but found other equally socially condemning stories as well.
