[dropcap]D[/dropcap]ear reader, it could not escape you that satire and serious news have become practically indistinguishable. In fact, as was reported by Bis-Serjetà—the only website in Malta that reports the news in a serious, accurate way—its stories have escaped to other news websites.
We bet, plenty of readers wish that every dead serious bizarre headline they come across on a daily basis were a piece of good satire. After Brexit, Trump, high-profile corruption scandals and the regular misdeeds of the construction industry on our shores, nothing seems too absurd to be unbelievable.
Hence, an ability to tell satire and serious news apart could be an indicator of one’s sanity. The more you struggle to identify satire in a continuous stream of mind-boggling information, the saner you are. Below are headlines and excerpts from articles by Malta’s major news platforms, alongside with those by Bis-Serjetà. How well can you distinguish between satire and news? We challenge you to take the quiz and find it out yourself!
