To be fair, with what's going on in the world, I can see it being harder to figure out that it's satire. But even then, they should know this panel in particular is satire.
In fairness, it's not obvious except from the alt text that this is The Onion and it's only if you look at the newspaper that it's clear people are mourning crime dramas and not the morality of the nation or suchlike. It's a great parody because it mimics a pearl-clutching cartoon so accurately
I like to watch procedural crime dramas. I noticed 90% of them involve some desperately poor person in mental crisis or in a medical crisis where the insurance company won’t pay and they need to rob a bank. I thought “if we were socialist, what would they write about?”

(Although this one is less obvious without the context that it's always a pun.)

Also, side-note, but is your name a Tool reference by any chance?
