NewsThump to release Christmas TV advert

In the hope of drumming up more sheep-like followers, it has been announced that the bleeding heart liberal echo chamber website NewsThump is to launch a Christmas TV advert.

With festive adverts for supermarkets having become a talking point at this time of the year, second rate ‘satire’ site NewsThump hopes that the advert will increase the number of site visitors and Facebook followers by appealing to similarly smug left-leaning ‘comedy’ fans.

Senior editor Simon Williams explained, “It’s been a tricky year or two for satire, what with a soon-to-be US President who out-satires satire itself, and a new UK government still finding its feet, making it harder for us to use exaggeration to make a satirical point.

“Couple that with the change in Facebook algorithms lumping satire in with ‘fake news’ so fewer people see the stories in the first place, and you can see why we’ve been struggling.”

He added, “We don’t have a lot of money, so our TV advert will only last five seconds and will only be shown on the Horror Channel and Movies4Men on Freeview.

“It will feature the NewsThump logo with the words ‘Are you a leftie libtard snowflake with a spare five minutes? One in ten of our articles might make you chuckle for eight micro-seconds’.

“We’re confident we might get up to a dozen more followers from this, so it’s money well spent.”

The advert is scheduled to air just once, on December 26th.
