The entire problem here is that satire truly is dead. If I had seen this, I would have believed its was entirely possible. Maybe out of context, but definitely possible.
This really seemed like a pointless detour on the podcast, and pretty off brand. I'm really curious how they would have approached this if the producer of this hoax had been a conservative group trying to foment some shit, and not nominally attached to their brand.
The Democratic Party shouldn’t be basing their policies on a denial of reality. Seriously. Democrat for over twenty years but their detachment from objective truth & the unwillingness to engage the topic in a good faith way, because they’re beholden to the HRC, GLAAD, and the pharmaceutical industry dreaming of profits from lifelong patients-- I’m done.
To be fair, it was clear in the episode that Trace did this on his own, it had nothing to do with this podcast. They interviewed him, but did not have anything to do with planning or implementing the prank and mildly admonished him for it.

Specifically, they have called BARpod an “internet bullshit” podcast. This episode is perfectly in line with that description.
Except they are *contributing* to the bullshit with this stunt.

Yes, but they come at it with experience as journalists. Is Trace trained in journalism, or just extremely online?
My thoughts exactly.
