Yeah, I mean it's clearly satire, but really only because of that one line. I don't think they were actually trying to fool anyone, but if they were, all they'd need to do is delete "unemployed" and I wouldn't have thought this was fake at all.
And "couches" obviously.
It is satire, yes, it was very Onion-y. It made all the 'quiet parts' which Republicans used to keep silence before...Loud and Clear. If they had simply kept "unemployed" but deleted the reference to couches, I would've actually believed this to be true. As Fox News is highly falsified news, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference from their normal denial of reality.
