@NewYorker Cheney protests too much. The only way to wipe out the scourge of torture is thru transparency & most important - accountability.

Why did
@NewYorker give@BorowitzReport a gig? People believe his stories because they’re plausible & unfunny.@TheOnion won’t take him, eh? -
@cdevers dunno, I could name any number of soi-disant modern satirists who aren't worthy of the name, but@BorowitzReport is the real deal. -
@qwrrty Obviously he has an audience. I see him as being in an uncomfortable no-man’s-land between Onion and Stewart/Colbert/Oliver. -
@qwrrty Which is to say, he’s not as good at satire as The Onion, and he’s not as good at news/politics as Stewart/Colbert/Oliver. -
@cdevers De gustibus. Maybe not as good as the Onion, but I think his work is consistently playing in the same field. -
@qwrrty Right — much like, say, Nickelback plays in the same field as Led Zeppelin. -
@qwrrty What annoys me is that people so. very. routinely. share his pieces assuming they’re real. That’s a clue that the joke doesn’t work. -
@cdevers I believe that you're seeing that -- I just haven't. I just don't think he fails the sniff test for satire. - 2 more replies
