About
The Bureau of Prolefeed is a daily satirical news publication — India's answer to The Onion. We take real headlines from Indian and global news sources and rewrite them as satire: not to mock the news, but to say what everyone's already thinking.
Indian politics, bureaucracy, elections, courts, geopolitics — all corrected for accuracy, daily. The goal: cut through the numbness. Say the quiet part out loud.
How it works
Every morning, an AI reads the day's top Indian and global news headlines from real sources. Then it writes satirical articles in the style of The Onion — deadpan, straight-faced, finding the absurdity in what's actually being reported.
The satire is based on real coverage from multiple sources, always linked. The AI generates the satirical framing; the underlying news is real.
Why "Prolefeed"?
In George Orwell's 1984, "prolefeed" is the meaningless content the government produces to keep people distracted and passive.
We're doing the opposite. We take actual news and strip away the numbness — the bureaucratic language, the buried ledes, the normalized absurdity — to show what's really being said.
The name is a reminder of what we're pushing back against.
This is satire. This is AI-generated.
All articles on this site are AI-generated satirical commentary. Headlines, bylines, quotes, and article content are fictional — created by an AI for the purpose of commentary and humor. None of it is factual reporting.
Original news sources are always linked. We encourage you to read them and to support real journalism.
