Find news that are published independently. For example if you want (mostly) Australian news that are funny, see https://www.youtube.com/user/thejuicemedia



Being published independently doesn't guarantee honesty or the lack of an agenda or bias, it only guarantees any agenda or bias isn't being dictated by a third party, rather than the company itself.

Also, The Juice Media appear to be satirists, not journalists. While this and other satirical sources like the Daily Show may seem more truthful than mainstream news because they provide an emotional catharsis, they can actually be far more distorted than the mainstream media in terms of fact. Because while satire can express the truth, being honest isn't its purpose, so much as being funny.


I agree with your first sentence.

The Juice Media are satirical journalists, but as far as I can tell all the satire is contained to the presentation, not the facts. The Daily Show is not independent, so putting them in the same bag as The Juice Media doesn't seem fair.
