I think it counts as satire, even if the headline is a completely true statement.

Colbert was satire when he just copied what Republicans were saying, with the obvious intentions of "Jesus Christ, do they even hear themselves?"

The Onion can be satire now, and when "No way to prevent this, says the only country where this happens on a regular basis."
