The problem becomes when one tries to pass of satire as non-satire. I don't think there's anything wrong with political commentary or political satire. However, some take the satire and use it in a means as if to depict truth. No one is saying that the Times should be shut down or anything, there is no legal action being taken; so no one is suggesting censorship. I just believe it would behoove people to use their brains every once in awhile.
