Satire Disclaimer

About Our Content

The Flag on the Play is a satire publication. All articles, headlines, images, and multimedia content published on this website are created for entertainment, humor, and parody purposes only.

Our stories are not factual news reports. While our content may reference real people, places, events, or public issues in West Virginia and beyond, the situations, quotes, and narratives presented are fictional and exaggerated for comedic effect.

If something sounds unbelievable, that is often the point.

Not Real News

The Flag on the Play does not claim to be a source of factual journalism. Any resemblance between our stories and actual events is either purely coincidental or intentionally satirical.

Readers should not rely on content from this site as a source of real news, public policy information, or official statements.

For factual reporting, please refer to verified news organizations.

Use of Real Names & Public Figures

From time to time, our satire may mention real public figures, government officials, businesses, or locations. These references are used within the bounds of parody and protected satire.

Quotes attributed to individuals in our articles are fictional unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Humor & Editorial Tone

Our editorial voice uses sarcasm, irony, exaggeration, and absurdity to comment on cultural, political, and social topics relevant to West Virginia and Appalachian life.

We aim to “punch up” — focusing satire on systems, institutions, and public issues — rather than individuals facing hardship.

Social Media & Content Sharing

Content shared from the Flag on the Play on social media platforms is still satire, even when presented in headline or image form.

We encourage readers to verify stories before sharing them as factual news.

If you have questions about our satire disclaimer or believe content has been misrepresented as factual reporting, please email us at: support@flagontheplay.net

In short:
We’re here to make you laugh, think, and occasionally shake your head — not to break real news.

Wild, Wonderful, andSlightly Distorted.
