It should read like satire. Satire often employs strawman arguments, but not all strawman arguments are satire. Thus, if you appreciate the strawman arguments, but not the satire, you are not appreciating the argument for what it is in it's entirety, but rather, what it is in part, which is itself something of a strawman.
The satire of The Bee is oddly predictive these days of bizzaro sound/visual bites. OTH, some MSM headlines I've seen here defy the definition of satire. Tongue in cheek is the cheeky now.
This reads like a strawman argument
