Bias Rating: SATIRE Founded in 2007, The Daily Mash is a British satirical website providing parodic commentary on current affairs and other news stories. The website was created by Neil Rafferty (a former political correspondent for The Sunday Times) and Paul Stokes (former business editor of The Scotsman). Read our profile in UK Media and Government. The Daily Mash is owned by Digitalbox Publishing Limited. Revenue is derived through advertising and a shop that sells merchandise. In review, The Daily Mash is a satire website that clearly disclaims “The Daily Mash is a satirical website which publishes spoof articles, i.e. it is all made-up and is not intended, in any way whatsoever, to be taken as factual.” A typical story reads as follows How to twist the facts so you can still think the sun shines out of Boris’s arse. From a political perspective, more stories poke fun at the right than the left. Overall, we rate The Daily Mash a Satire website based on a proper disclaimer on their about page. (D.
