Satire, parody, and irony... all with a little sprinkle of sarcasm

First things first, do not take anything on this site seriously! This is 'news', not NEWS. Our writer, Jack, spends half his time doing air quotes with his fingers as he's writing this shit.

Of course, the dream is to have an article linked by the dumb orange cunt currently sitting in the US Oval Office as though the article were in fact 'truth'. Keep your fingers crossed!

(We know we shouldn't be mean to the elderly, but he started it!)

On a serious note...

We chose the name 'The Festinger Gazette' in honour of Leon Festinger, the psychologist behind the theory of Cognitive Dissonance. Festinger presented the theory in his work, A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, in 1957.

Festinger was a true visionary who's work is more relevant today than ever before.
