WTFNews

We Tried, Folks!

A weekly news-comedy show hosted by a frontline journalist who gets shot at for the same footage other hosts only joke about.

Joy first. Fuckery for everything that follows.

New episodes Fridays. Viewer-funded. No masters.

Winners This Fortnight

We lead with the good one. Every time.

Other outlets bury this at minute forty, if it runs at all. Here it is first, played straight, no irony allowed. This is not a palate cleanser. It is the position.

  • Wow, They Fixed-it!

    A pothole so old the town named it has been filled. The town held a funeral. We attended. We were not invited.

  • Whole Town Fundraised

    They needed a number by Friday. They hit it Wednesday and then kept going, which is the part nobody covers.

  • Wandered, Then Found

    Gone eleven days. Home Tuesday. The dog is fine. The family is not fine, in the good way.

Watching The Fuckery

Now the other thing.

One scandal is a segment. Three or more is The Fuckery. This week qualified before Tuesday.

Numbers land the night the episode does. The counter is the joke; the juxtaposition is the knife.

The Slate

One crew. One studio. Four streams.

  • We Tried, Folks!

    Weekly

    The flagship

    Cold open, joy block, the Tally, sign-off — a fixed spine with a modular middle. Every block is a clip. Every clip is a short.

  • The Hot Seat

    Season arc

    The road show

    A gritty American travel show. Dignity first; the people are never the joke. Planned to the destination and no further.

  • The Music Show

    Weekly

    The relight

    AI music review. No rights-holder means no Content ID — the only review format that can play every track in full, on air.

  • The Correspondent Bureau

    Building

    The ambition

    Submissions, then staff writing, then a mic and a camera in the field. Comedians with cameras is the correspondent model.

Wondering: The ‘F’?

What does the F stand for?

Fiscal responsibility, somehow.

It has never been that. It will never be that.
