"Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement."

Considering the thousands of deaths and people murdered by the US government in places like Libya while Hillary Clinton fumbled foreign policy as Secretary of State, the article is clearly, by definition, satire. QED.

I would be pretty surprised if it was being that clever.

Im pretty sure it's referencing conspiracy theories about the Clinton's hiring hitmen and related ideas.

"I would be pretty surprised if a website known for clever wit and satire was being clever."

Even if it's referencing conspiracy theories, it's still satire. Congrats, you played yourself.
