'Smug tax' satirical article and 'The Trews'

As opposed to The 'Trews' ('true news') Russell Brand purports to give us, here is News Toad doing the opposite - making a political point by reporting something that never happened (the 'distrews'?). What do you think the writer is suggesting about celebrity/finance/politics and what do you think the target readers feel about Klass and the politicians (and therefore what pragmatics is the writer playing on)? How are the two (The Trews and News Toad) similar?
