It’s so ridiculous. Part of the reason “the right” has been successful online is they’re funny. This idea that everything needs a disclaimer and an earnest explanation is what kills humour.
20 years ago I worked for a student newspaper. Every year we did a parody issue where we emulated one of the big local papers (yes, this was when we still big papers plural). Someone complained we should put a disclaimer so people weren’t misled. We answered that the picture of the prime minister boxing with an ostrich was the disclaimer.
