'Satire wanted
1812 Productions presents This Is the Week That Is,' Dec. 4, 2023, Broad Street Review. (Through Dec. 31, 2023.) Why include a screengrab and link to 'Henry Kissinger: The Declassified Obituary' from National Security Archives' website? Because an SNL-type of news program spoof included an offensive item about the man's death. "The premise of the joke: the US hasn’t learned to stay out of unwinnable wars, despite Kissinger’s example of negotiating the end of the Vietnam War. Representing that guy as a peacemaking do-gooder? Inexcusable." |
