About & Corrections

What this is

The Cuckzoolian is an independent, satirical civic publication focused on Missoula and Montana public-interest issues. It is a work of commentary, criticism, and parody.

Not affiliated

The Cuckzoolian is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any existing newspaper, publication, or news organization. Any resemblance in name or style is coincidental and intended as parody.

Fact-based, one-way glass

The current articles are reviewed, file-backed satire. New factual weather forecasts come from the National Weather Service. Other new factual feeds are not connected. This version has no public submission form and no write connection to the private federation. Hosting and network services may process ordinary request metadata; this is not a promise of anonymous browsing or offline availability.

Forecast, fiction and changing editions

The forecast panel displays predicted conditions, its issue time and a link to the official source. An unavailable or expired forecast returns a neutral presentation. Our curated visual treatments alternate on Tuesdays and Fridays at 2 a.m. Mountain Time; they do not automatically generate or publish articles. Tailgate DUI Forecast is an original fictional cartoon, not a public-safety forecast or sobriety guide.

Audience measurement

The production site is configured for Vercel Web Analytics pageviews of known public pages. Our event filter removes query strings and fragments, excludes unknown paths and custom events, and suppresses pageviews when the browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Staging previews do not send these application pageviews. Hosting and analytics infrastructure may still process request metadata. These controls are not a promise of anonymous browsing. Read Vercel’s analytics privacy documentation.

Corrections

An accessible public correction-submission channel is not enabled yet. Until one is published here, this site will not accept or publish externally submitted factual claims. Accuracy is the foundation of legitimate satire, and any future correction channel must support screen readers and provide a review receipt.

Editorial boundaries

Officer-involved shootings, deaths, serious crimes, active criminal matters, and material identifying victims or minors are excluded from satire here. Such material may be considered separately by MTBNSF only after source verification and privacy, legal, corrections and accessibility review. A name appearing in a public record does not establish wrongdoing. A satire label is not a substitute for checking factual premises.
