About
In an age when fake news faces extinction at the hands of increasingly ridiculous non-fake news agencies, The Garlic Press is here to ensure people that satire, incredulous scenarios, and the awkward written word remain and thrive in their rightful places. Founded by a handful of delightfully jaded ex-Peace Corps volunteers, The Garlic Press has proven a beacon for those that seek information and commentary through the guise of real news posturing as fake news. For questions, comments, t-shirts, cans of food, or a good time, email us at garlicpressnews@gmail.com.
| Brooks Sherman, founding editor
The self-proclaimed President for Life of The Garlic Press, Brooks is a ruthless egomaniac who operates by a combined credo of relaxed, open collaboration and swift, bloody retribution. After several years spent toiling in the entertainment industry, followed by a couple more subsisting in the scrublands of West Africa, he has recently begun to suspect that there might actually be no one just waiting for the right spontaneous moment to offer him fame and riches after all. This has filled him with a rancorous, all-consuming craving for vengeance, accompanied by frequent psychotic episodes of extreme paranoia. He also loves puppies. |
