ABOUT US
Our Mission
Spurious News is dedicated to providing news that feels entirely real but is, in fact, completely satirical. We believe that sometimes the best way to understand the absurdity of our world is through carefully crafted satire that mirrors reality just enough to make you question whether it might actually be true.
Our team of professional truth-adjacent journalists works tirelessly to create content that captures the essence of real news while adding just enough absurdity to highlight the often ridiculous nature of our media landscape and current events.
We strive to be your most trusted source of news that never actually happened.
Our Story
Spurious News was founded in 2025 by a group of disillusioned journalists who noticed that reality had become increasingly difficult to distinguish from satire. Rather than fight this trend, they decided to embrace it wholeheartedly.
What began as a small blog has grown into a full-fledged news parody site with a dedicated readership who appreciate our unique blend of humor, social commentary, and uncanny resemblance to actual news.
Today, Spurious News continues to expand its coverage of non-events and almost-truths, bringing you the news that could have been, might have been, or perhaps should have been—but definitely wasn't.
Editorial Standards
At Spurious News, we adhere to the strictest standards of fictional journalism:
- All articles must be entirely fabricated, yet eerily plausible
- Our content should be just absurd enough to be recognized as satire, but realistic enough to make you double-check
- We never intentionally report actual facts, though coincidental accuracy may occasionally occur
- All quotes are invented and should not be attributed to real individuals, even if they sound exactly like something they would say
- We strive to be equal opportunity satirists, poking fun at all sides of the political spectrum
Note: If any of our stories accidentally turn out to be true, we take no responsibility for this failure of imagination on reality's part.
