OMG! Is everyone ready for the new NYT Pitchbot headline?

* For those who don't know, the NYT Pitchbot account parodies "bothsiderism" in NYT headlines.

This is the latest pitch: Mitch McConnell's possible death raises new questions about Joe Biden's health.

Sometimes less is more, am I right?

Both older men about the same age?
Does Mitch's age relate to Biden's age .... seems that Biden is in much better health.

Mitch has been very ill for quite some time now.

But for me, this isn’t funny AT ALL!

Sometimes I just take too much too seriously.

Satire is a little different. To me it's illuminating, hard hitting, and revealing in a lighter way than say a 400 word article would be. I might chuckle a little bitterly at it, but I like the way it makes you think.
