TheOppositeNews is AI generated, using actual current events as input, and turning that on its head, mirrored in every way.

The site does not intend to spread fake news or sway your opinion in any specific direction. It's not about good versus bad, more this versus that. It's not to confuse you to no end, but to broaden your perception. A philosophical exercise, a thought experiment. What if the world and its characters looked entirely different to how it does now?

Are you absolutely in stitches about the crudeness of the headlines? Good. Do you feel estranged, disgusted, or even enraged by the headlines? Even better. Takes you out of your daily routine. Wakes you up from the endless barrage of predictable, actual news that you read habitually, but almost never remember or act on anyway.

Many headlines sound absurd given the existing, common preconceptions about the subjects and topics mentioned. But in a way it's liberating to see that all come apart.

“Politician A quick to admit mistakes. Apologises in time before riots start.”
Highly unlikely for good old politician A to do so. But what a stunt, and indeed improvement it would be.

“Decidedly unspectacular weather leaves population at ease, enjoying their weekend.”
News outlets writing about the middle of a spectrum. Uncommon, but in fact a more statistically honest representation of reality.

“Celebrity B unashamedly vents opinion you normally only associate with celebrity C.”
Rock solid, consistent social entities you'd swear you knew, felt support from, and were shaped by. Well, you're rolling solo today.

Some might argue that everything is the only way it could be, given what's come before it. How reality happened, is the only way it could have. Some others, and indeed TheOppositeNews argues the opposite. Culture, science, politics, etc is the result of accidents, contingencies stacked on top of each other through time. Occurrences throughout history could have gone entirely the other way based very small changes.

So let's imagine TheOppositeNews headlines are true, for the sake of experiment and broadening of horizons. It's time to butcher some headlines in search of truth, and light entertainment.
