Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for trying. You have a good point, those were true headlines but with satire text. Got to find a way to filter those out... Unfortunately they don't seem to belong to a fixed section which I can parse.

All of the ones I've seen have been under "American Voices". Can you filter on that?

Good suggestion will take a look. On first glance it doesn't appear in the url which is what I'm getting from the Reddit api. Will have to think of some other way.

This was fun.

There were true facts like "koalas listed as endangered" and "New York Times buys online game Wordle", which were not the real headlines.

The ones I got wrong were super weird.

Thanks for the support. Yup someone else pointed that out too. It's because The Onion where I get 'fake' headlines from have some articles where the headline is true but the text is satire. Need to find a way to categorize those properly.
