Analysis / Bias

In review, GomerBlog is a satire website that entertains the medical profession. An example article reads Tired of Its Advice Being Ignored, CDC Kicks America Out of Its Practice. The most important factor to be rated as a satire website is to offer a disclaimer and GomerBlog does: “GomerBlog.com is a satirical medical news website created by a bunch of wannabe stand up comedians who ended up in healthcare.  What started as a joke now sees millions of pageviews a month from all different Healthcare Professionals like yourself!”

Overall, we rate GomerBlog as a medical satire website based on a proper disclaimer. (D. Van Zandt 11/23/2016) Update (11/26/2022)
