Every racket, on the record.
The Racket is a satirical magazine. Centre-leaning, corruption-focused, cartoon-forward.
We believe satire is one of the oldest and most honest forms of political expression — it says what straight reporting can't. Every story published here is grounded in documented fact. The jokes are ours. The corruption is theirs.
The world is a show. This is the programme.
Every day, an AI bot scours the world's leading news outlets for documented cases of corruption, fraud, abuse of power, and political misconduct.
The bot rewrites each story in The Racket's satirical voice — dark, irreverent, and unflinching. A human editor reviews every story before publication. Nothing goes live without approval.
Every story is sourced from documented reporting. We do not invent facts. We satirise the ones that are already too absurd to believe.
