A stale news reader that finds old stories, shows how they aged, and reveals what happened next
What it does
STALE NEWS is a news reader that brings back old news and shows the later context that changes how the original story feels today.
How it decides
It looks at what the original headline said and what happened afterward, then selects stories where the difference is unexpected, ironic, or funny.
What it does not know
It cannot decide exactly what a person will find funny. It can find a strong change in context, but the humour comes from the person noticing that change.
