Privacy Policy

Welcome to The Daily Smoke & Mirror — home of 100% fabricated headlines and stories, and 0% serious reporting. We specialize in satire, parody, and the occasional pun that goes too far or not far enough. Nothing published on this site should be mistaken for real news, serious journalism, medical advice, financial strategy, or sound political commentary. If you take anything here too literally … well, that’s on you. Any resemblance to real persons, events, or ideas is purely coincidental — or intentionally exaggerated for comedic effect.  And when we do joke about real people, the content of the articles isn't real. Basically: don't sue us, we’re joking. Live a little, laugh a lot, loosen up. That said, we still respect your privacy as much as we disrespect most everything else. So here’s what you need to know.

If you subscribe, send us a fan letter, or complain about a joke, we have your information. We don't sell it to third parties, though. We don't use it to stalk you. You might get an occasional newsletter or promotion. That's about it.

Our ads are real. Really real. Want one? See our ads page. We love our advertisers.
