In this comic, Elo takes the stage at a TED-style event to deliver a cheeky critique of modern news consumption. The satirical setting highlights Elo’s playful commentary at how people verify information in today’s world.
Elo says:
“Any news must be verified from three sources: the celebrity’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!”
This joke points out how many rely on social media for “truth,” instead of real journalism. The comic’s title, “All The President’s Men,” adds a layer of irony, nodding to the investigative rigor of the famous Watergate reporters while underscoring the decline of critical media practices today.
The simple setting and TED-style stage make Elo’s joke stand out as a clever look at how confusing it can be to find real information in a world full of fake news. The truth is harder to find today because of so much information and disinformation. Elo’s humor makes us laugh but also think about how we decide what’s true in the age of social media.
