Does today’s news feel like one big game of telephone?

Ever hear someone repeat a talking point like it’s their own original thought—word for word, emotion for emotion?

Have you watched a friend morph entirely after switching their media diet—like a parrot taught a new phrase?

Yeah, us too.

That’s why we created The Parrot News: a place to examine the shitshow called a news ecosystem for what it is: a noisy aviary of repetition, outrage, and tribal squawking.

Parrots don’t think, they mimic. They can sound profound, sometimes even speak in full sentences. But they’re not saying anything. They’re just repeating what they’ve heard.

Sound familiar?

So we hired parrots. Actual Parrots!¹ They were perfect for the job—no critical thinking, no fact-checking, no original opinions. Just pure, colorful repetition with the occasional cracker break. In other words, ideal newsroom content.

It’s a fantastic cast, you should check them out.

Because in a world full of parrots, The Parrot News squawks the loudest.
