SATIRE / PARODY — not real news.

Edinburg Satire: Made-Up News from the County Seat

As the Hidalgo County seat, Edinburg carries a heavy burden of bureaucracy, county politics, and medical district expansion. Our parody news lightens the load by inventing fake scandals at the courthouse, completely absurd new wings at the Edinburg Conference Center, and a totally fabricated underground network of smuggled pan dulce. We honor the county seat by making a mockery of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the county judges really fighting with lightsabers?

A: Sadly, no. Budget meetings are much less exciting in reality.

Q: Is the medical district actually a front for a giant lazy river?

A: We wish. That was just a satirical article.

Q: Why do you pick on the courthouse so much?

A: It’s the seat of power! Satire has to point at the people in charge.
