About Frosted Fakes News

Frosted Fakes News is a satirical broadsheet for readers who grew up on front pages and learned, eventually, to read the fine print. We publish twelve stories each morning in the shape of wire copy — datelines, quotes, institutional panic — about a world that is not quite this one.

What we publish

Stories in the tradition of the best satirical desks: situations that begin in recognizable anxiety — housing, work, technology, local government — and end somewhere no editor would knowingly approve. We do not announce the joke. We file the story and let the third paragraph do the work.

How it works

Each morning edition is assembled by a small editorial desk with clear rules: deadpan delivery, specific detail, and headlines a reader might plausibly send to a group chat before remembering where they are. Our correspondents have names, beats, and email addresses. Their stories are invented. This distinction is important and, we are told, obvious to any reasonable reader.

A note on accuracy

We are not a news organization. Nothing here should be cited, shared as fact, or relied upon for decisions more consequential than what to read with your coffee. If a story sounds too strange to be true, you have correctly identified our core competency. The First Amendment protects satire as a form of expression; we exercise that protection daily, usually before lunch.

Names and likenesses

We use fictitious names throughout our content, except when satirizing public figures. Any other use of real names, institutions, or trademarks is coincidental. No endorsement by any person or organization described here is intended or implied.
