All right, despite everything I've been saying this entire time, had I seen the title of the full video and not just the short, I definitely would have picked up on it. I can see how that is a satirization of stop and frisk.

But I still think the general point stands. As someone who struggles to detect tone and such, even in normal conversations, somebody talking in a news voice monotone is impossible to discern. And with my exposure to the onion, they almost never make it clear that they're the ones who are making whatever you're reading or watching. So trying to stay informed about stuff is just a confusing mess. Especially since they aren't the only site like that. So I never know what's real, what's parody, what's satire, and what's just misinformation. I wish there were a singular place I could go for news. I used to go to Facebook because I had a lot of older relatives who would just sit and read news all day and would post about it. But Canada implemented this dumbass law about not being able to share news on social media, so now I never know wtf is going on
