    A Multi-Modal Method for Satire Detection using Textual and Visual Cues Lily Li1, Or Levi2, Pedram Hosseini3, David A. Broniatowski3 1Jericho Senior High School, New York, USA 2AdVerifai, Amsterdam, Netherlands 3The George Washington University, Washington D.C., USA [email protected], [email protected] fphosseini,[email protected] Abstract Satire is a form of humorous critique, but it is sometimes misinterpreted by readers as legitimate news, which can lead to harmful consequences. We observe that the images used in satirical news articles often contain absurd or ridiculous content and that image manipulation is used to create fictional scenarios. While previous work have studied text-based methods, in this work we propose a multi-modal approach based on state-of-the-art visiolinguistic model ViLBERT. To this end, we create a new dataset consisting of images and headlines of regular and satirical news for the task of satire detection. We fine-tune ViLBERT on the dataset and train a convolutional neural network that uses an image forensics technique. Evaluation on the dataset shows that our proposed multi-modal approach outperforms image-only, text-only, and simple fusion baselines. 1 Introduction Satire is a literary device that writers employ to mock or ridicule a person, group, or ideology by passing judgment on them for a cultural transgression or poor social behavior. Satirical news utilizes humor and irony by placing the target of the criticism into a ridiculous, fictional situation that the reader must suspend their disbelief and go along with (Maslo, 2019). However, despite what absurd content satirical news may contain, it is often mistaken by readers as real, legitimate news, which may then lead to the unintentional spread of misinformation.

  • Great Reset: Self Anointed Elitists Want to Impose Global Socialism (Must Watch)
    Great Reset: Self Anointed Elitists Want to Impose Global Socialism (Must Watch) rairfoundation.com/great-reset-self-anointed-elitists-want-to-impose-global-socialism-must-watch Self-anointed elitists are seeking to impose their dictatorial will on the planet through what is referred to as the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Great Reset“, a literal globalist plot to remake the world’s economy. As with all leftist experiments, the actual details of their ultimate socialist vision are vague. The vehicle for the Great Reset is, of course, the coronavirus. The World Economic Forum was founded by globalist Klaus Schwab and his wife Hilde in 1971 as the “European Management Forum.” If the creepiness component of the WEF is unclear, consider that they keep trying to get people used to the idea of eating bugs in order to save the planet, or something. The WEF is well known for their annual meeting of the “global hyper-elite” at Davos, an alpine resort town in Switzerland. 1/6 Klaus Schwab It was at one of these meetings that a must-see, jaw-dropping panel discussion titled “Delivering Social Justice in the Recovery” took place. Moderated by Washington Post Foreign Affairs Columnist Ishaan Tharoor, the discussion encompassed several terrifying key concepts globalist fascists are promoting within their self-important circles. The key themes for reshaping the global economy, i.e., the “Great Reset” in a post-pandemic world, include harping on so-called “stakeholder capitalism” (i.e. socialism), “inequality,” (i.e. class war) and “white supremacy.” The video starts with a disturbing montage featuring such figures as radical leftist economist Joseph Stiglitz, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Anthony Fauci, preaching to the world’s citizens about “systemic social inequities”.

  • Mary Doe Ex Rel. Satan?: Parody, Religious Liberty, & Reproductive Rights
    46 COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF GENDER AND LAW 40.1 MARY DOE EX REL. SATAN?: PARODY, RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, & REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS CHRISTEN E. HAMMOCK* Abstract In 2015, a woman known as “Mary Doe” challenged a Missouri abortion restriction requiring her to wait seventy-two hours after receiving certain “informed consent” materials before she could obtain an abortion. Mary Doe challenged the restrictions in federal and state court on religious grounds as a member of the Satanic Temple. This paper examines the Satanic Temple’s litigation through the lens of parody—a literary technique that involves repeating another text’s form or content in order to critique it. Mary Doe’s litigation mirrored that of Hobby Lobby v. Burwell, in which a for-profit corporation claimed a religious accommodation from the ACA’s contraceptive mandate. The litigation forces two comparisons—between mainstream religious beliefs and other strongly held matters of conscience, and between abortion and other constitutional claims—and illuminates the “distortions” that often appear in reproductive rights litigation. INTRODUCTION In 2015, a woman known as Mary Doe challenged an amendment to Missouri’s statute governing informed consent for abortion. The amendment instituted a seventy- two-hour waiting period and required providers to distribute printed materials stating that “the life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being.”1 Doe’s lawsuit took a unique approach to challenging Missouri’s abortion restrictions. Instead of alleging that the law violated Equal Protection or constituted an “undue burden” under Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v.

Ever since, her activism and Twitter presence have sparked media attention, catalyzed youth activists globally to organize marches and strike from school, and have drawn critique. This thesis employs McKerrow’s (1989) critical rhetoric to uncover dominant discourses within tweets that undermine Thunberg based on identity and to explore the potential that Thunberg’s Twitter presence might or might not hold for future youth activist response to similar critique. I highlight implications of Thunberg’s Twitter presence on her own and other youth activist’s agency and on the collective identity of Fridays for Future, as well as pose questions that Thunberg’s Twitter presence raises for the potential of a more intersectional, networked youth climate movement.

  • SUPPORTING INFORMATION for “Too Many People Think Satirical News Is Real” R
    SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR “Too many people think satirical news is real” https://theconversation.com/too-many-people-think-satirical-news-is-real-121666 R. Kelly Garrett, Robert M. Bond, Shannon Poulsen 8/19/2019 OVERVIEW Topics were selected based on a review of engagement data provided by NewsWhip. We downloaded the 5,000 most engaging news stories from the prior week and selected 20 of the highest profile stories, 10 true and 10 false. We then drafted brief statements summarizing key points of each story, which is common practice when writing knowledge questions about current events. Finally, we conducted a survey with a representative sample of Americans, asking each participant a series of questions about each of the statements. We repeated this process every two weeks for six months (February 20 - July 31, 2019), giving us 12 surveys in all. Results presented in The Conversation are limited to belief statements written about content appearing on either The Babylon Bee or The Onion that the largest number of participants described as “definitely true.” ============================================================================= SAMPLE YouGov interviewed 1204 respondents in wave 1 and recontacted them from wave 2 to wave 12 (Ns = 813-836). Estimates based on this sample have a margin of error of +/- 3% with 95% confidence. Statistics reported were computed using weights. Weights were constructed for each wave. The frame was constructed by stratified sampling from the full 2016 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year sample with selection within strata by weighted sampling with replacements (using the person weights on the public use file). The cases, which are a subset of 1204 respondents according to the weighting requirement, were weighted to the sampling frame using propensity scores.

  • Killing Comedy Seth Dillon
    Killing Comedy Seth Dillon “The world has become too absurd to be satirized.” The great English writer, G.K. Chesterton, said that way back in 1911, long before math was considered racist and biological men were allowed to compete against women in sports. One can only imagine what he would say if he were alive today. At The Babylon Bee, where we write satire for a living, we’re feeling Chesterton’s pain in a big way. Just look at these headlines that were satirical at the time we wrote them… On May 9, 2017, we ran this headline: ‘2+2=4,’ Insists Closed-Minded Bigot That was a joke, of course. But on August 10, 2020, the Washington Examiner published this story: Math professor claims equation 2+2=4 ‘reeks of white supremacist patriarchy’ On August 13, 2020, we ran this headline: BLM Rioters Awarded Nobel Peace Prize At the time we thought this was obvious satire, but on January 29, 2021, this story was published in The Guardian: Black Lives Matter movement nominated for Nobel Peace Prize On March 25, 2020, we ran this headline: Pants Sales Plummet As Everyone Working From Home The very next day, this story appeared in Yahoo! Finance: Amid coronavirus, Walmart says it’s seeing increased sales of tops—but not bottoms I could go on. Our satirical headlines are proving to be prophetic with astonishing regularity. So what does this mean for humor and satire? Well, for one thing, it makes our job much more difficult. You might be surprised to hear that.
