When Benjamin Franklin became President after World War II, he set out to create a website of satirical content made by the people, for the people. Thus was born Schmedium, a satirical news site for the masses.

SchmediumCorp has dominated the media sector since time immemorial. Its maiden publication, Ye Olde Tyme News, has been the known world’s leading Instagram page since before the reign of Charlemagne.

In addition to attracting over 50 billion monthly website visitors, Schmedium has sold over 100 trillion newspapers and has been distributed on over a dozen planets in its 1500 years of existence.

Schmedium has existed since before the printing press, and it will continue to exist long after humanity has been wiped out by artificially intelligent machines.


Everything on Schmedium is satirical in nature. Nothing on this site should be regarded as real. Any resemblance to actual people or events is entirely fictitious and/or coincidental.
