They are helping to inform people legacy media isn't reaching. We need to enable, fund, and include these people in the ecosystem of trustworthy sources.

Bottom line: humor in news is a powerful tool for conveying facts—especially at a time when satirical news, an alternative venue for those who don't trust mainstream media, is under unprecedented political attack
