About The Lying Rag
The lighter side of Liverpool FC news
Our Mission
The Lying Rag is a fun project that brings together the latest Liverpool FC news and adds a humorous, satirical twist. We believe that while football is serious business for fans, there's always room for a good laugh.
Our site aggregates real news about Liverpool Football Club and then uses advanced AI to create satirical versions of those same stories. This gives fans two ways to consume their Liverpool news: straight up or with a comedic spin.
Important note: The satirical content on this site is AI-generated and meant purely for entertainment purposes. It should not be taken as factual reporting.
How It Works
News Collection
We use NewsAPI.org to fetch the latest Liverpool FC news from various reputable sources. Our system automatically filters and organizes this content to bring you the most relevant stories.
AI-Powered Satire
For the satirical content, we employ Anthropic's Claude model, which transforms the real news into humorous, satirical versions while maintaining the core subject matter.
