We take our tea seriously. The headlines? Not always.
A Word About the News
The Tea Bag Times™ is a satirical publication. We borrow the familiar style of a newspaper to serve up humor, commentary, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Our stories may mix real headlines or public figures with invented events, imagined quotes, and a generous splash of exaggeration. Unless we clearly say otherwise, they should not be treated as factual news reports.
A Little Truth in Every Cup
Good satire often starts with something real. When we refer to actual events, we aim to keep the underlying facts straight—even when the story takes a decidedly less straight path. We do not intend our invented quotes, scenarios, or claims to be mistaken for genuine statements or events.
Meet the Newsroom
Our bylines may feature playful pen names and editorial characters. These are part of the publication’s personality, not a promise that every correspondent is a real person. Any digitally created portraits are illustrative, not photographs of actual reporters. Take a peek inside the newsroom.
Pictures, Sources & Other Fine Print
Images may be illustrative, edited, or digitally generated. A picture accompanying a story does not necessarily document the event described. When we use outside reporting or third-party imagery, we aim to provide appropriate attribution and respect usage rights. If something needs a clearer label or credit, please let us know.
Spotted a Spill?
We welcome notes about factual mistakes, misattributed material, unclear satire, or anything that deserves another look. We’ll review legitimate concerns and make corrections or clarifications when appropriate. Send a note to the newsroom.
Bottom line: read us for a laugh, a little perspective, and perhaps a fresh cup of tea—not as your sole source of breaking news.
