They hide the disclaimer at their site and they have real news stories aside the fake news.

Their intent isn't to be funny, it's to trick, deceive and fool people.

People (like me) think it's real and are shocked and spread the word in good faith.

I admit I only gave the site a quick glance, check the dropdowns at the top, checked out the (real) story about a dead police officer and it gave credence to the fake story and made it seem legit. I dug but not deep enough.

Actual satire sites like the Bee or Onion don't also carry real news. Vancouver Times is not satire, it's a psych op.

I posted in Qstorm and the mod moved it to a pedo sub and then to satire. I deleted it.

This is not intended as satire. It's purpose is to desensitize people about child abuse and to discredit messengers.

They make the story look real. They link to real tweets supporting it. They have it side by side with real news. Instead of saying it's satire they encourage you to repeat it as truthful.

At the bottom of the article: "The mainstream media and big tech want to hide the truth. Beat them at their own game by sharing this article!"

I searched for a second source and didn't see it anywhere. Instead of that being a red flag I fell for "MSM hiding the truth" because of course they do. But this time no one was carrying it because it was a lie. It wasn't satire, they outright lied and made it look real while hiding that it was "satire".

This is not a joke or accident or satire gone bad or just clickbait. It's intentional. It's information warfare. I took the bait and got played into sharing it and looking foolish. Their plan worked.

When / if real news comes out about high profile people, normies who were fooled will think "oh, the last news I hear about child abuse was fake, this is probably fake too".

It's intentional to shape the narrative going forward and to desensitize, minimalize and trivialize the real child porn that was rampant on twitter and exposed by Elon... "Oh ya, the twitter child porn thing was 'satire' and fake news".

Been waiting for your reaction and agree with it.

Domain is now banned for being malicious spam disguised as satire.

Thanks for following up and I agree. Only dug deeper because I also fell for some shit before.

Funny coincidence: They use a Ukrainian registrar

VT may be describing itself as a satire site, but looking at their other articles, they don'tb seem satiric. If you go to the VT site and search "twitter" do those articles look like satire?

I agree that this is some type of psy op, but one that may not be what it appears.

Yeah, thought so. Thanks for posting this!

Don't beat yourself up - This is extremely deceptive. It takes some guts (especially here) to admit you posted a misleading article, and the fact you did says a lot about your integrity. I admire you for it.

I agree with you that claims like this are not satire - they're intentional. The question is why and by whom. I find it curious that the fact-checkers are calling it false. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Allegations of child porn are serious, and I'm curious to know whether Agrawal is suing over it - bc if it's truly false, it's expected that he would and should.
