re: What does CNN mean by this?

Guys, we are totally fricked if the Bee and The Onion have become litmus tests if something is real or not. When everything has flipped, those two publications need to start running straight news stories, THAT is the Meta Parody we need k\now, because otherwise I can't tell if a headline these days is "legit" or parody. Their entire concept (news parody) doesn't even exist anymore, because when they go to parody something there's a huge chance the ridiculous, over the top, woke joke, is real life.

It's astonishing.
