Kamala Safe And In Stable Condition After Attempted Interview

A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:
For a seriously in-depth dive, Some More News has an episode called Why Is Conservative Comedy So... Not Very Good? The video even has a whole section about The Babylon Bee. The TL;DW is that real comedy is about the comedy, while conservative "comedy" is all about attacking out-groups. (There's another section with examples of conservative comedians who don't do this, and are funny.)
Like in this example, I read the headline, wrinkled my brow, and thought, "Huh?" Then a few seconds later, I remembered that there was some rumbling in the news a while back about how Harris hadn't done a media interview at the time, and it must be referring to that? That makes sense as an attack, and I guess that's "funny" to an audience that just wants to see attacks on the out-group, but it's not humorous. (I mean, she's done a couple of interviews now, so it comes across as try-hard.)
yeah that sounds about right
Kamala Harris is not really an out-group now, is she?
Democrats are kind of the canonical out-group.
