I like this piece of writing; the beginning of the article definitely highlights the contrary nature of the stories. I like the way you use a complex sentence to highlight the satire in the clause “just like everything else in life”.
The next two paragraphs are a bit weaker – I think you lose the sophistication a little with the use of the word ‘obviously’. The ‘seem to have gotten confused’ also does not really make sense. Perhaps experiment with these two paragraphs a little more to see if you can capture the subtlety of your introduction.
