Fake News You Can Believe In

Welcome to Deseret Pews, Utah’s most trusted source for untrustworthy news.

We’re your go-to outlet for hard-hitting satire in a state where every city has a temple, a soda drive-thru, and a Facebook group called “Concerned Citizens of [Insert Town Here].” Our mission? To report the stories that didn’t happen—but probably could have—somewhere between Relief Society and a city council meeting about pickleball noise.

At Deseret Pews, we lovingly lampoon the quirks of life in the Beehive State: religious rituals, political theater, cultural oddities, and anyone who still uses the phrase “tender mercy” in a non-ironic way. Think of us as the newsroom you’d get if The Onion was baptized, confirmed, and then immediately put in charge of a regional dance committee.

We’re not here to mock belief—we’re here to roast bureaucracy, cheerfully exaggerate reality, and hold a mirror up to Utah culture until it starts quoting Brad Wilcox back at us.

Our motto is simple: Fake News You Can Believe In.
