Satire with sources
Factually Offensive is a satirical news outlet. The jokes are jokes. The facts underneath them are real — and every one ships with receipts.
- We publish satire with sources.
- Every claim ships with receipts on day one.
- Our targets are chosen by themselves.
- We only punch up.
- We are on the side of the joke.

How we fact-check
Every claim-bearing post is researched during production. Sources are named, linked, and filed in the Evidence Locker on day one — never backfilled. Posts with no factual claims (pure absurdism, aphorisms, fiction) get no receipts UI rather than forced sources.
Corrections policy
If we get a fact wrong, we correct it publicly, in the same place it ran, with the correction dated. Our retraction count is displayed on the homepage. It is currently zero, and we intend to keep it there.
What the site is
The Wire
New offenses land five times daily — 9a, noon, 3p, 6p, 9p ET. The wire is the pulse.
The Desks
Politics, Culture, and World — every file routed to its desk, every desk held to the same sourcing standard.
The Locker
The searchable database of every sourced claim. The backbone of the whole operation.
The Dispatch
The email list. Subscribers hear first when it launches. No spam, ever.
